Description

This is an upscale networking event for small black owned businesses, artist and creatives in the DMV area. This is an upscale 21+ networking event hosted by "The Contee Experience" for small black owned businesses, artist entrepreneurs and creatives in the DMV area. This event is not just limited to those in the DMV area, all are welcomed. The purpose of this event is to not only give back to small black owned business, artist, and creatives but also give them a platform in the community to expand and build their businesses while networking, sharing insights and learn from other like minded individuals. Also, my goal for this event is to help new and established black owned businesses who are facing certain adversities gain exposure, clients/customers for their business while having the support of their community and those who are aligned with those goals. This event will be marketed by way of social media (Instagram, facebook event page, webpage, flyers and direct contact.
