Dr. George C. Fraser is once again ready to bring together more than 1,000 Black entrepreneurs and professionals for the 23rd annual PowerNetworking Conference in Houston, Texas on August 2nd. This conference, which began in Cleveland in 2002, offers attendees the unique opportunity to engage with prominent national and global leaders, speakers, and industry professionals. Attendees will gain insight into how to cultivate successful relationships, build and scale 21st-century businesses, and manage their wealth.
The PowerNetworking Conference is the country’s largest continuously held conference for Black executives, business professionals and Black entrepreneurs, according to BlackNews. This year, the Houston event is special, as it will also mark the official announcement of the Black Business Legacy Hall of Fame, Museum & Metaverse to be constructed in Atlanta by 2030. Dr. Fraser commented on this endeavor, saying, “For the first time in our history we will memorialize and celebrate with an iconic building the enormous contribution Black people have made globally to business development and capitalism within the African diaspora.”
The PowerNetworking Conference has earned its place in the limelight, as Forbes recognized it as one of America’s “Top 5 Conferences in America Not to Be Missed” in 2015, making it the first Black gathering to receive this honor. Fraser shared his joy, saying, “I’m overjoyed to have been the first Black Conference to be selected for this prestigious annual recognition from the premier business magazine in the world. We have always felt this way, but now the world knows it.”
Since its inception, the PowerNetworking Conference has been held in major cities such as Dallas, Atlanta, and Baltimore, and has raised over $1.7 billion in new funding for Black-owned businesses and Black entrepreneurs. Fraser has spent the better part of four decades as chairman of FraserNet, a company that focuses on teaching effective networking, mission-driven entrepreneurship, and building and managing wealth for business owners and Black entrepreneurs who face difficulty following traditional routes to success, according to BlackNews.
This year’s conference is sure to be an experience like no other, and promises to bring together the best and brightest of the Black business world. Attendees are guaranteed to leave with a wealth of knowledge and a better understanding of managing and growing their businesses.
