2026 Annual Meeting

The Future Is Global: Expanding Business Through Africa
Join us for our 2026 Annual Meeting as we explore the power of global connection and opportunity under the theme “The Future Is Global: Expanding Business Through Africa.” This year’s convening is intentionally designed to strengthen and deepen the relationship between Houston’s Black business community and entrepreneurs, innovators, and industry leaders across the African continent.
As Africa continues to emerge as a global hub for innovation, technology, manufacturing, and trade, this event will spotlight pathways for collaboration, investment, and cross-continental partnerships. Attendees will engage in forward-looking conversations that highlight Africa’s dynamic business ecosystems while identifying practical opportunities for Houston-based Black-owned businesses to expand, scale, and compete globally.
The Annual Meeting will bring together business leaders, community stakeholders, and strategic partners to exchange ideas, build relationships, and position Black businesses at the forefront of global economic growth.
