About the event

Black Business Showcase 2023 will take place at the Edmonton Expo Centre on October 21, 2023. The African Canadian Entrepreneurs Association (ACANEA) is the first-ever trade show to celebrate BIPOC entrepreneurs, in collaboration with Innova Circle. We are currently anticipating an audience of approximately 1,200 bilingual attendees, 60 exhibitors, and 15 speakers from across Canada.
Our goal is to build capacity by building confidence for growth through strong representation. ACANEA is a Black Francophone non-profit organization that addresses equity and opportunity for the Black community in business, employment, education, and economic development. We are committed to motivating and empowering the Black business community to follow their dream.
