Black Professionals Expo - THE MIXER

The Black Professionals Expo began in 2016 as the Leadership Conference and Expo. In our fifth year, we are pivoting to a three day event to accommodate the growth in attendance, reach and scope of the event. This new format will also allow us to:

• Offer more sessions on a broader spectrum of topics.
• Host, support and bring exposure to Black business owners.
• Give companies an opportunity to build a database of more diverse job candidates with the skillsets they are looking for.
• Connect the business and non-profit sectors to the large network of Black professionals that exist in Gainesville.
• Allow for people of all backgrounds to network and connect in a positive atmosphere to gain insight into the Black perspective while building new opportunities, partnerships and friendships.
