Elevate: African Diaspora Business Expo

The Congo Social is proud to present the Elevate: African Diaspora Business Expo in partnership with Montgomery College—a day dedicated to amplifying entrepreneurship, fostering connection, and celebrating innovation across the African diaspora.

In recognition of the newly established African Youth Day, this year’s theme spotlights youth entrepreneurship and the power of economic leadership within our communities.

The event will feature:

• Engaging breakout sessions led by diverse hosts
• Dedicated “Book With Me” rooms for 1:1 consultations and mentorship
• A vendor marketplace highlighting African diaspora-owned businesses and nonprofits
• Insightful keynote speakers offering perspective, strategy, and inspiration

Whether you’re an entrepreneur, investor, creative, student, or community leader—Elevate offers a valuable opportunity to connect, collaborate, and grow.

​

We invite you to be part of this forward-moving experience! If you're interested in becoming a vendor or volunteer, please visit our website to sign up!
