Recent years have brought heightened attention to racial inequities across America, yet national data often fails to capture the distinct realities faced by Black communities at the local level. Addressing these disparities requires a holistic approach that considers the interconnected systems of housing, healthcare, economic empowerment, and innovation.​​

Hosted by The Beta Iota Boulé of Sigma Pi Phi Fraternity, Inc., in partnership with The Executive Leadership Council and McKinsey & Company, Black Economic Forum will once again convene Black corporate executives, philanthropists, scholars, and more to network, ideate and collaborate on efforts to advance Black economic development. This year’s theme, From Foundations to the Future: Housing, Healthcare, Education, Ownership, and Technology focuses on advancing solutions that foster equity, ownership, and opportunity. By exploring strategies to strengthen foundational systems, close wealth gaps, and harness technology, we aim to drive transformative change that uplifts Black communities and secures a brighter future.

Through collaboration with leaders across sectors, we will chart a path forward that honors heritage while building sustainable progress for generations to come.
