We want to invite you to participate in the Third Annual Black Owned Business Excellence Symposium taking place on Tuesday, February 1, 2022. This is a full-day, virtual conference to celebrate, educate, and inspire Black business owners and kick off Black History Month in the State of Washington.

This event is being planned by Black-Owned Business Excellence (BOBE); which is a collaboration of different organizations and individuals coming together to support, educate, inspire and elevate businesses that are owned by underserved business owners in Washington State. For more details about BOBE and past events, visit here.

The symposium will include keynote panels on Recovery and Thriving Together. There will also be breakout sessions on a variety of topics including Financing, Business Credit, Marketing, Sustainability, the Creative Economy, and more.

During this event, there will be an amazing opportunity for business owners to win grant funding! To qualify for these cash dollars, you will need to have a current business license registered with Washington State's Department of Revenue, and winners MUST be present during the event when business names are drawn randomly from the list of eligible attendees.
