Stimulating Dialogue-Breaking Barriers-Creating Opportunities

The BBPA is set to embark on another first. The National Black Business and Professional Convention aims to stimulate dialogue, break barriers and create opportunities. We are seeking to attract Canada's boldest and brightest students, professionals, entrepreneurs, and corporate personnel. The concept behind this convention was born out of an identified need within the Black community and seeks to promote diversity, encourage economic empowerment, and build networks across different businesses/business sectors.
