This year’s BNEC is reflective of the times we live in, where discussions about truth, history, and community intersections have come to the forefront. Amidst the chaos, many young people have leveraged their tech expertise to market themselves and create entrepreneurial opportunities. Whether for education, business, activism, or art, the brands created by these influencers have tremendous resonance with today’s young audiences. #BNEC2025 is a great opportunity to get a chance to network and connect with an audience of tech-savvy and passionate young professionals, as well as hear industry insights from proven Black creators.
