Summits & Conferences
The Global Black Economic Forum hosts global and regional conferences — from Accra, Ghana to New Orleans, Louisiana— tailored to advance equity for the Black community and other marginalized groups.  The Forum creates spaces to unite leading business executives, policy makers, activists and entrepreneurs by curating an insightful mix of interactive panels, dynamic speakers and immediate calls to action to advance equity for the Black community and other marginalized groups. 

Unlike other conferences and gatherings approaching this pivotal moment of racial reckoning as an inflection point, GBEF continues to center economic empowerment and development of the Black community and other marginalized groups as the heart of our mission. Operating at the intersection of economic parity, health equity,educational equality and equal justice in our collective fight, the summits illuminate a collective path forward. These intimate conversations create an empowered community and actionable results.
