SMALL BUSINESS

EXPO Baltimore, Maryland

Created by Thomas and Danielle Jones of DanieBJones Events LLC, Black Owned Small Business Expo (BOSB) gives black small business owners a place to collaborate, network, sell and promote their products and services to an audience specifically designed for them. Recently, the BOSB Expo has expanded to include small business resources to help start-up businesses and entrepreneurs explore the possibilities and opportunities that are available to them. We now also offer workshops and seminars geared toward business and personal development to further encourage all attendees teach for their goals. The BOSB Expo is held twice annually - once in the spring and the Saturday following Black Friday (Also known as Small Business Saturday).

This fall we partnered with Black Professional Men Inc. to bring our attendees and small business owners twice the resources and opportunities. This partnership shows two organizations working together in the best interest of the community to provide education and help to CHANGE THE WAY WE DO BUSINESS! As we grow we are constantly looking to expand into other cities to spread the love of Black Businesses to other communities.
