Black Business Expo Tallahassee 2026
Black Business Expo Tallahassee 2026
Many Black businesses failed during the pandemic because Black businesses were unaware of the support system that was available to them. Wall Street Journal states that "40% of Black businesses went under in the first 90 days of the pandemic." In addition, according to Forbes Magazine "only 20% of Black businesses that applied for PPP loans got them." It's time to connect with local government, chambers, and agencies that can help Black businesses generate revenue and sustain jobs. #ThriveIn2025 On behalf of Mega Ace Media and the Tallahassee-Leon County Office of Economic Vitality, we are thrilled to announce that the 2025 Black Business Expo Tallahassee (BBET) will take place on February 22, 2025, at The Moon!
