Black Men Xcel Summit Virtual Experience to Celebrate Black Male Excellence and Leadership, Featuring Attorney Ben Crump, Chance The Rapper, and Charlamagne Tha God, Nov. 17-18

NEW YORK, Nov. 16, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- BLACK ENTERPRISE will present its 5^th annual Black Men XCEL Summit, Nov. 17 and 18, as a virtual conference experience for the second year, expanding its reach and impact as the premier national event dedicated to celebrating and advancing the excellence and leadership of Black men. In partnership with Host Sponsor, FedEx, Black Men XCEL will feature live chats with speakers and experts, an interactive XCEL Sponsor Showcase, a live Mentor Mastermind Meetup, and more—maximizing real-time engagement, coaching, mentorship, and networking opportunities for participants and attendees.

Black Men XCEL will take place on an engagement-driven, content-rich platform with sessions, workshops, and coaching designed to provide attendees with information and activities to train, equip, develop, and inspire leadership across a broad array of endeavors—from corporate America and wealth-building to opportunities in legalized cannabis and gaining access to the tech industry jobs pipeline. Participants will virtually connect with some of today's most successful business and executive influencers and gain direct access to major corporations eager to recruit ambitious men of color for opportunities in their organizations.
