BLck street summit
A national gathering for Black business owners.
Our annual conference returns in person in 2027. This year, we’re taking a deliberate pause, and inviting you to invest in yourself instead.
A Note on 2026
2026 is a gap year
Think of it like the gap year before grad school: a deliberate pause before the next big chapter. The in-person Summit will be back in 2027, and we're already building toward it.
In the meantime, we're asking you to hold September 28, 2026 and spend it investing in yourself. We've put together a curated guide with ideas for how to rest, restore, and pour back into yourself as a business owner.
What is the Summit?
The BLCK Street Summit is our annual conference — a full day bringing Black business owners, community members, and supporters together for learning, connection, and celebration. It's not just another conference; it's where we roll up our sleeves and get real about building businesses in community.
By design, the Summit is an intimate experience — curated so every attendee can truly learn, leave with tangible takeaways, and build real connection.
