“MOBE was created to engage and empower,” expresses MOBE 2017 Chairman, Curtis Symonds. “The idea to bring talented innovators and influencers across all industries and stages of their careers with the common goal to align, advance, and create new opportunities has worked for more than a decade and in 2017 building relationships and strengthening our networks is more imperative than ever”
What’s the impact of this networking opportunity? More than $187 million in business was generated to African-American companies as a direct result of associations and relationships conceived at MOBE symposiums. MOBE is for everyone – from Entrepreneurs to Corporate Leaders; up-and-coming Indie Artists and Filmmakers to Award Winning Directors, Actors and Musicians; Sports Industry Executives to Championship Athletes, and everything in between. Sponsors include Bronner Bros., Liquid Soul, and a collaboration with the new iONE Digital, “the largest digital player in Black culture and media.”
