The INTERNATIONAL Detroit Black Expo IV will take place July 28 – August 1, 2010 at the University of Detroit Mercy McNichols campus and is proudly presented by Caesars Windsor.
Founded in 2004, The Detroit Black Expo is the largest African-American consumer exposition in the State of Michigan and will feature an expected 200 black-owned businesses, 500 conference participants and 2,000 consumers.
The event is free and open to the public. The expo, supported by community partners, aims to set the stage for future economic growth and stability within the city of Detroit by providing a forum for participants which includes; the opportunity to take part in panel discussions and hear keynote speakers from various industries, participate in workshops, utilize small business resources and the expo also provides multiple networking opportunities.
The Michigan Black Chamber of Commerce, The Michigan Southern Christian Leadership Conference and the Detroit Rainbow PUSH Coalition are also supporting the event.
“These are critical times in the State of Michigan's economy, but we, as a community, must support entrepreneurial activity and small business growth. We are also witnessing a tremendous paradigm-shift from a state dominated by the automotive industry towards a more Diversified and progressive entrepreneurial environment.
African Americans are realizing their consumer buying power and refocusing the dollar to support those who in turn support them” says Detroit Black Expo IV’s President and CEO, Ken Harris.
“The Detroit Black Expo IV is to encourage and develop these new opportunities within this new economic environment”.
In the state of Michigan, African Americans represent better than 44,000 black-owned firms with 19,530 of those businesses residing in the city of Detroit alone.
