Ascend National Conference
“Designing Our Sustainability”
Atlanta at Morehouse College
This year’s conference brings together industry leaders, experts, and visionaries to explore innovative solutions to provide continued support to businesses owned by people of color for a sustainable future. Through engaging sessions, thought-provoking discussions, and collaborative workshops, the aim is to walk away with strategies and concrete plans for Ascend Core Cities and National Cohort.
The top 3 goal foci are:
Markets: Facilitating Anchor Councils (local and national) to review past progress and look ahead to what collaborators bring to the table and how resources can be used effectively to provide opportunities for Ascend’s business-participants.
Money: We will tackle the question, “How we do meet 100% of Ascend businesses’ financial needs?”
Management: Take inventory of our management education across the Core Cities, what is currently in our curriculum and what are we missing to take Ascend businesses to the next revenue thresholds.
Join us, together, we will shape our sustainability to benefit businesses owned by people of color. Register now to secure your spot.
This is an in-person event. For questions, email Mayte Manzo.
