The SPONSORSHIP Opportunity

Twenty Two Years Ago

We pledged that we would create the premiere training conference for Black people that would be a catalyst for intergenerational wealth through financial education and economic development focused learning.

With the help of our sponsors, we’ve leveraged their support with some of the best African-American minds, scholars, trainers, keynoters, authors, and community leaders–to create Black America’s largest and most successful conference focused on networking training, business development, personal growth and development and wellness.

I am proud to say that we have done it! Each and every year since 2002, we have cultivated a much needed mind-set for tens of thousands of African-Americans; the realization that building wealth and networking are the keys to their success; that building effective relationships is the path to progress in their individual lives, businesses and communities.

Many thousands now understand that “it takes teamwork to make a dream work.” Our sponsors have always understood this fact, and the support we have received over the past 21 years bears this out. Now we are FraserNation: Citizens of Generational Wealth

In 2024, we are poised to celebrate our 37th year in business and our conference’s 23nd Anniversary with the spotlight on industries and companies that are paving the way for the next business generation; including customer service and product excellence, employee capacity building, community involvement, supplier diversity, inclusion, and employment, wellness and wealth creation.

20 YEARS OF HELPING BLACK PROFESSIONALS AND ENTREPRENEURS AROUND THE WORLD.

This is provided free of charge

to students 17-25 years old. Join us as a sponsor of our 23nd Annual PowerNetworking® Conference, we anticipate another full conference, the best ever, and the beginning of more milestones to come

Sincerely,

Dr. George C. Fraser Chairman & CEO, FraserNet, Inc.

AFRICAN AMERICAN Stats & Conference Mission

Leveraging Present and Future Opportunities

Smart businesses recognize the huge opportunity for present and future revenue growth to be derived from gaining visibility and building a trusted relationship with the African-American community... in fact, many smart companies have this as part of their corporate diversity initiative.

According to The Selig Center’s “The Multicultural Economy: America’s Minority Buying Power Report.” African American buying power will rise from $1.5 trillion in 2020 to over $1.7 trillion projected by the end of 2022, with an annual growth rate of 8%.

The number of African American owned businesses grew by 135% between 2012 and 2016, according to the U.S. Census Bureau, creating many more

opportunities for improved supplier relationships and joint ventures with a market segment that is growing twice as fast as the projections for Caucasians through 2050.

Economic development and wealth creation is the new mission for Blacks in America. They are working together to build strategic alliances, joint ventures and partnerships with like-minded corporations and organizations. In the 21st century we will focus on “reciprocity” supporting those who support the things that are important to Black America... Through PowerNetworking®, the FraserNet brand has power and prestige and FraserNet can help you align yourself with this mission and leverage this growing market today and tomorrow.

You’ll be inspired and excited but that’s not why you’ll come. You’ll come because you will meet important people who will help you get things done!

The FraserNet Brand has Power and Prestige.

FraserNet uses integrated marketing to reach the Black consumer.
