“We founded BLACKWEEK to bring together the most dynamic executives, entrepreneurs, and thought leaders for real conversations about how cultural innovation is good for business.”
The organizers of BLACKWEEK are offering a 25% discount for women due to the systemic wage disparities that continue to affect women, especially Black women, in the workforce.
Also during BLACKWEEK, there will be several film screenings from independent filmmakers, which will feature shorts, documentaries, and feature-length films, as well as debut performances and sounds from up-and-coming music artists.
There will be many opportunities for executives, creators, investors, entrepreneurs, and various others to not only connect but also get the chance to network and exchange ideas and solutions with each other, with various presentations, meetings, panels, and get-togethers during the time the event is taking place.
