This event offers Black entrepreneurs and consumers a chance to initiate business-to-business (B2B) and business-to-consumer (B2C) relationships, showcase their products and services, and connect with the larger Canadian economy and international markets. In addition, you can listen and engage with business consultants, industry leaders, speakers, and panellists. CBCC continues to work hard to deliver its vision to build wealth and trust as we promote and provide impactful entrepreneurship opportunities for our members and the Canadian economy.

The Expo is supported by a contribution from Global Affairs Canada’s CanExport Associations program and sponsored by the Federal Economic Development Agency for Southern Ontario (FedDev). Additional invitees include elected members of federal, provincial, and local governments, entrepreneurs, Elevator Black Business Project participants, representatives of the CBCC Board, community members and stakeholders, and the media. Our goal is to deliver a vibrant and powerful business atmosphere offering invaluable business insights, resources, and opportunities for all in attendance.
