Join us for an out-of-this-world experience, where we'll explore quintessential information for product and business-based businesses.

Kansas City Convention Center

P﻿rogress has little to do with speed, but MUCH to do with direction. Are you a Black or Brown small business owner who has been in business for at least six months? Maybe you haven't started your business yet. Either way, this summit is for you and will feature a wide variety of speakers who are experts in their respective fields.These speakers will cover topics such as compliance, how to be retail ready, augmented intelligence for the future, business basics, social media marketing and strategies, bookkeeping, how to access cash, and much more. To Infinity and Beyond is a mantra that we will employ throughout the summit to remind you of the trajectory that your business is about to hit. Take this Saturday off from vending and the constant hustle and join us for a day of learning, no gate keeping, just a wealth of knowledge and sharing information that will prepare you for quarter 4 and beyond.F﻿eatured SpeakerMandy Bowman is the Founder and CEO of Official Black Wall Street, a digital platform and app that helps connect consumers with Black-owned businesses.Bowman was recently recognized as PayPal Maggie Lena Walker Award Winner named in honor of the first Black woman to charter a bank and serve as its president. The award celebrates the achievements of women from underrepresented groups in the U.S. who are economically empowering those in their community and creating a more inclusive world. After studying Entrepreneurship and Global Business Management at Babson College, she set out to empower the Black community through economics and ownership. The Brooklyn native felt called to launch the Official Black Wall Street platform in 2015, and the app in 2017, after witnessing the many challenges Black-owned businesses endured in her hometown of Brooklyn, New York, from lack of funding to being priced out due to gentrification.Since then, Mandy has been at the forefront of the #BuyBlack movement, helping Black businesses around the world gain the exposure and resources they deserve. In 2017, Mandy was invited to TEDx Dover, the first TED event held at an HBCU, to give a talk on ownership and long-term wealth in the Black community. In 2019, she made her return to the TEDx stage at TEDx Babson. In the past year alone, Mandy was honored for her work with a citation from the Brooklyn Borough President, named one of Entrepreneur Magazine’s 100 Powerful Women in Business, and became a Forbes Magazine Next 1000 Honoree. Today, she is a fierce advocate for economics and ownership within the Black community.W﻿hat you'll walk away with:<ul><li>knowledge to scale your business to the next dimension </li><li>confidence to navigate entrepreneurship successfully</li><li>t﻿ips, tricks and strategies to market and brand your business with more confidence </li><li>g﻿ifts, cash and more!!</li></ul>We believe that by equipping our attendees with this knowledge, we can foster growth, innovation, and prosperity within the Black business community.HOW TO REGISTER MULTIPLE PEOPLETo register multiple people, please complete one registration at a time.
