Knowledge

Gain authentic knowledge from top industry speakers! Not just the typical “How to be a Successful Entrepreneur” article that you find on Google or panels with “social media influencers” that are broke in real life. Our speakers are credible 6 and 7 figure business owners with real boots on the ground and real life perspective. Cheat codes, hacks, and more that will elevate your skills and overall mindset towards achieving your goals.

Connections

Make crazy connections! If you’ve been to an HBCU you know the value of community and value. You also know that their are like-minded, highly educated, smart, and beautiful minority change makers who are out there and looking to connect, partner, and mentor with you. #BYOBretreat is where all that magic happens in an environment MADE for you to level up and win.

Content

Build content and share! We encourage everyone to BUILD YOUR OWN BRAND. Participate in live feeds, join in on hashtags, and take a million photos! By participating in the “conference buzz”, you can get your name out there and gain attraction to your various platforms. We were top 3 in the nation and trending on twitter. We have blogs and media outlets producing and creating video footage for their social and youtube channels! We’re here to create and learn!

Nothing to Lose

Nothing to lose and all the fun to gain! No matter what industry you’re in, you’re almost guaranteed to discover something new. (It’s also a great investment that you could write off come tax season.) Believe it or not, this isn’t just about boring workshops and keynotes, we provide a wholistic approach to personal and professional development. Everything from mental health, to budgeting, to growth marketing is essential to the modern day entrepreneur and we want you to have it ALL!
