On June 4, 2026, hundreds of Black business owners joined together at the Baltimore Convention Center for the Small Business Advancement Conference. The conference featured vendor tables, seminar speakers, workshops, breakout sessions, and more. Guests learned about opportunities for small, local, minority and women-owned businesses.
“The purpose is all about partnership and opportunities,” said Christopher Lundy, inaugural director of Small and Minority Business Advocacy and Development. “It was important to me that we bring back something that really highlights our small business community.”
