ABOUT

BLACK CANADIAN NATIONAL CONFERENCE: A Multi-Panel Conference and rare opportunity to dialogue on leadership and economic empowerment. A meeting to unite, empower and network to forge better alliances with other leaders from all over Canada. Through our involvement we realized our community leaders, elected political leaders and those running for office, do not know each other, so we planned this conference to help bridge the gap. A non-partisan initiative to steer and inspire our National Leadership direction to the next level. Also "Wealth Creation" focused on how to work, fund & strategize together. A great opportunity to network and learn.

Objectives: This is a think-tank and panel style solution finding conference. And an opportunity to network with other black community leaders and doers from all over Canada.
