The Black Owned Small Business Expo Showplace Arena, Upper Marlboro

The Black Owned Small Business Expo was created to give minority owned businesses, entrepreneurs, small businesses resources, start-ups and their supporters, a platform to network, collaborate and build in order to strengthen our local economies.

​This Semi- Annual event has grown not only to include local small business vendors, but also resources for small businesses, funding sources and more recently, workshops and seminars dedicated to business and personal development.

​Held every year in the spring and on Small Business Saturday (the day after Black Friday) this event has attracted more than 2,100 attendees and over 400 locally owned small businesses. Its a day FULL of opportunity and dedication to CHANGING THE WAY WE DO BUSINESS.
