  • Panel discussions with business experts

Vendor Marketplace

The Black Business Expo Vendor Marketplace boasts 100+ small black businesses from various industries: health and wellness, food, beauty, photography, fashion, and more!

NOTE: Vendors may not sell any prohibited items or merchandise which may conflict with merchandise sold by the event promoter or that conflicts with any exclusive building sponsors or vendors. Only pre-packaged food items will be allowed for vending.

Prohibited items include but are not limited to tobacco, alcohol, adult entertainment and services, firearms or ammunition, marijuana, gaming and/or gambling. A member of our team will notify you via email if your business does not qualify as an allowed business.

Registration fees are non-refundable.

Our priority is to provide space for Black-owned businesses to sell and advertise goods and services to guests who are visiting the campus, including local and out-of-town visitors.

Once your registration is approved you will receive event information including instructions on set-up times and parking. Please check your email for updates preceding the event. You can contact the Center for Entrepreneurship via email at [email protected] if you have further questions.
