Nationwide — The 23rd Annual PowerNetworking Conference (PNC) will take place August 2-5, at Hilton America’s Houston, TX. Attendees will learn how to build effective relationships, build and scale 21st-century businesses, and build and manage wealth. They will have the opportunity to effectively network with prominent national and global leaders and speakers and like-minded attendees.

A major announcement of the Black Business Legacy Hall of Fame, Museum & Metaverse targeted for Atlanta, Ga by 2030 will be introduced and revealed at the PNC.

“For the first time in our history we will memorialize and celebrate with an iconic building the enormous contribution Black people have made globally to business development and capitalism within the African diaspora,” said Dr. Fraser

PNC is widely recognized as America’s largest continuously held conference in the world for Black executives, business professionals, and entrepreneurs. This year, the PNC is expected to draw more than 1000 attendees from around the world. In 2015, the PNC was named one of the “Top 5 Conferences in America Not to Be Missed” in America by Forbes Magazine.

“I’m overjoyed to have been the first Black Conference to be selected for this prestigious annual recognition from the premier business magazine in the world. We have always felt this way, but now the world knows it,” said Fraser.
