A Special 10 Year Celebration
"I went from ‘I wish’ to ‘I will.’ The ‘ANBC’ event taught me how to buy my first home AND start a college fund for my kids. No finance degree needed—just community."
— Marcus Greene
🗓️ AUGUST 21 – 23, 2025
Join us for a special edition of our annual All Black National Convention
As we unite, under the banner of a “Unified Black Business Agenda”, with these esteemed partners of the National Alliance for Black Business (NABB):
• The National Business League (NBL)® celebrating its 125th Quasquicentennial Anniversary
• The World Conference of Mayors (WCM)® celebrating 41 Years
• The National Black Chamber of Commerce (NBCC)® marking 32 Years
• The Black Business School (BBS)® marking its 10th Anniversary
• National Alliance for Black Business (NABB)® marking 3 Years
Expected Attendance: Over 2,500 delegates including CEOs, small businessowners, government leaders, global mayors, investors, and studententrepreneurs.
📣 Attention: This Is NOT a “Feel-Good” Conference
This is Dr. Boyce Watkins’ battle-tested blueprint for Black financial freedom.
✅ Slash debt and build generational wealth (no Wall Street jargon)
✅ Launch & scale Black-owned businesses (using systems that sidestep predatory loans)
✅ Negotiate salaries and invest in Black Wall Street (not just talk about it)
✅ Create a legacy that outlives hashtags and hashtivism
ABNC 2025 is where theory meets ACTION.
🚨 What Happens When Dr. Boyce’s Tribe Gathers?
Real. Results. Fast.

What Happens If You Skip ABNC 2025?
📉 Missed Connections: Your future business partner, investor, or mentor will shake hands with someone else.
❗️Stagnant Growth: Another year of “I’ll start tomorrow” while others use Dr. Boyce’s systems to double their income.
🔒 Closed Doors: The Black Vendor Fund applications? Over. The investor pitch slots? Filled. The private workshops? Gone.
📱 Regret DMs: Watching peers post “Life-changing weekend!” while you replay “Why didn’t I go?”
But here’s the real cost:
❌ You’ll keep leaking $1,000s on bad loans, missed tax breaks, and salary gaps you don’t know exist.
❌ Your business idea stays stuck in your Notes app while others launch theirs in the Black Wall Street Expo.
❌ Your family’s legacy stays vulnerable because you never learned Dr. Boyce’s “bulletproof trust” strategy.
Witness the 2025 experience!

HOW ABNC CHANGED LIVES FOR EVERYDAY BUILDERS
“ABNC gave me the tools to turn my side hustle into a full-time career. I met a mentor at the Black Ecosystem Workshop who helped me launch my tutoring platform for Black youth. Now I’m making $6K/month doing work that matters.”
Tasha Coleman
Former Teacher
"I doubled my salary 6 months after attending. The resume review session and connections I made led to a promotion at my tech job. Finally, I’m in a role where my voice shapes DEI initiatives company-wide."
Jordan Mitchell
IT Project Manager
"As a first-gen grad, I felt alone in corporate America. At ABNC, I joined a mastermind group with 5 other Black professionals. We meet monthly to navigate workplace bias and invest in Black-owned stocks together. Lifeline unlocked."
Alicia Nguyen
Marketing Specialist
“Never thought I’d network with like minded… until ABNC. Got invited to a private roundtable with Black execs. Landed a job referral that tripled my income. This isn’t just an event—it’s a launchpad for people like us.”
Ebony Rhodes
HR Coordinator
THE AVERAGE ABNC ATTENDEE GAINS:
