ATTN: Afro Future Summit Announces Breakfast Roundtable (Live Edition)

The theme of the program is Recession Resilience ReImagined: How To Accelerate Your Business and Career in a Down Economy. Post the 2020 recession, we are seeing a new wave of challenges for tech entrepreneurs as they navigate a new economic landscape and adjustments in the startup ecosystem resource pool. Funding is still a limited resource and black entrepreneurs are still trying to manage to build their companies at a time when investment is slowing in the tech sector.
This gathering is meant to inform and inspire black entrepreneurs to learn insights and strategies to not just become recession-proof but thrive under the current landscape. The biggest wealth transfers of history happen during recessions. Hear how you can get on the winning side. Ultimately, the audience will discuss these points in an intimate room of like-minded entrepreneurs, stakeholders, and influencers who can support their journey to the top.
