10th Annual Alaska Black Business Expo celebrating black history, entrepreneurship | Local News [Video]

As Black History Month approaches, the Anchorage community prepares for the 10th Annual Black Business Expo and Summit on February 1 and 2. The event will feature over a dozen vendors and celebrate the contributions of Black entrepreneurs, promoting economic growth and innovation. Organizer Jasmin Smith is excited to mark this milestone.

“The first year we did not have any vendors. We actually just had businesses convening for training. And it was in a very small room with probably ten entrepreneurs. So to go from one small room with ten people in attendance to having over 50, 60 vendors and having the whole Anchorage museum, that’s a huge step for us in accomplishment in our event journey,” said Smith. 

This year’s Expo will feature a star-studded lineup of speakers and guests, and events aimed at celebrating Black business excellence. Smith says the community should be prepared for an action-packed weekend.
