CBE SUMMIT DYNAMIC SPEAKERS ACROSS SECTORS
There are few conferences or events that bring together Black professionals across sectors to collaborate, exchange ideas, and learn from the best and brightest across multiple industries. Each year CBE identifies topics across five tracks and focuses on issues that relate to the Black community across each track. Attendees have the opportunity to pick and choose topics that are most interesting to them. Our hope is that you will build bridges across other professions and learn about key industry developments outside of your own.
In 2020, we brought in dynamic speakers across from the following tracks:
- Tech & Life Sciences
- Health & Wellness
- Finance & Entrepreneurship
- Diversity/Equity & Inclusion
- Social Justice/Impact
