Conferences I've been to in the past and considering in 2020...
T
he National Urban League Conference - This year it's in Houston. Great for black professionals, entrepreneurs. If you went to an HBCU or was a part of the Black Student Union in college, this is an easy pick.
SXSW - In Austin, TX. This kinda goes without saying.
Black Men EXcel Conference - A spin-off of Black Enterprise's conference, this is a festive recognition of the contributions and achievements of black men. Set against a backdrop of fun, relaxation, and top-notch entertainment, this is the end-of-summer blowout for men and the women who love them. Six Figure Six Certs gang was heavy last year in Miami.
ABFF - It's either in NYC or Miami. But the official black film festival and has tons of workshops on how to get into media.
Black Enterprise Business Conference - Now called FWD, this is the annual summit for the modern-day Talented Tenth to get together.
