ATLANTIC CITY — Atlantic City will bring back its Black Business Expo next week, offering local entrepreneurs and business owners an opportunity to network, promote their businesses and hear from industry leaders.
The free event will be held Tuesday, Aug. 25, from 5 to 8 p.m. at the All Wars Memorial Building, 1510 Adriatic Ave.
Organized by the City of Atlantic City’s Division of Economic Development, the expo is designed to showcase Black-owned businesses and entrepreneurship while connecting business owners with residents, organizations and other members of the local business community.
