The 2025 Black Business Gala & Black History Month Conference

On February 8, 2025, the Greater Durham Black Chamber of Commerce invites you to join us at our Annual Black Business Gala as we celebrate the outstanding and continuous history of Black business achievement in Durham, NC. The 2025 Black Business Gala will honor a 2025 Woman of the Year and a 2025 Man of the Year.

The GDBCC will also award three businesses at the Black Business Gala, a 2025 Emerging Business of the Year, a 2025 Longstanding Business of the Year, and a 2025 Community Organization of the year.

The 2025 Black Business Gala will also provide us an opportunity to announce the winners of the 2025 Connia Watson Scholarship Awards to two outstanding high school seniors.

In addition to attending the event, you may support the GDBCC, our honorees, awardees, and scholarship recipients by purchasing an ad for our Souvenir Booklet, being a partner/sponsor, or making a donation. For more details on pricing and size requirements for ads/marketing and for sponsorship/partnership opportunities, please take a look at our 2025 Black Business Gala Partnership Deck. The submission deadline for the souvenir booklet is 5pm on December 31, 2024.
