About the National Black Economic Conference
Formerly the South Florida Black Economic Forum
The National Black Economic Conference (NBEC) is an annual initiative to connect, engage, and inform black business owners and professionals about opportunities, resources, and programs that will increase the number and scale of black owned businesses in the United States and globally. In addition, the conference aims to create dialogue and solutions for creating multi-generational wealth and building sustainable communities. The Mosaic Group in partnership with the Urban League of Broward County and several businesses and community partners host this annual annual event. This year, the event has grown to a three day conference that will feature a kickoff reception – “Experience Blk: Booze, Bites, Beats”, a day-long forum with panel discussions, a keynote luncheon, and breakout workshops, and an all-day Buy Black Expo to showcase the growing global Black Business community. The NBEC’s goal is to empower community members to take the necessary steps to grow and develop their enterprise, create wealth for their families, support black businesses throughout the US, and foster growth and sustainability while reducing unemployment and bridging the wealth gap in the US and beyond.
Why you should attend?
NBEC is focused on providing tools for building generational wealth in the Black community and providing solutions to the community to succeed in business.
Participants will include local and national thought leaders, Black-owned businesses, business professionals, elected and government officials, Florida residents, and visitors from around the country.
The number of African American small business owners in the United States has increased by a staggering 400% from 2017 to 2018. Florida ranked in the top five states is the US with the most African American owned businesses.
Registration costs less than one quarter of the costs for most conferences.
The conference is centrally located in the South Florida Tri-County area making it easily accessible for residents and business owners from Broward, Miami-Dade and Palm Beach counties. South Florida is also a draw for visitors from around the country as a top travel destination spot and the NBEC will add to the appeal to come visit sunny South Florida. Conference events will take place at the Urban League of Broward County and the African American Research Library and Cultural Center.
