The Summit

Have you ever wanted to buy into an existing successful franchise but you didn’t know the first place to start? Or maybe you did know where to start, you found a great franchise to be apart of, but you got stopped in your tracks because you couldn’t find a bank to approve the loan that you needed to pay your franchisee fee and start up costs.

This summit is about to change that!

For the first time ever, you won’t be hunting down elusive franchisors and stingy lenders. THEY’LL BE CHASING YOU!

From the Tuskegee Municipal Complex stage, Franchise Experts and Bankers will be telling you exactly what’s important and what to do to connect with the right franchise, and how to secure the money to pay for it.

The Franchisors will then pitch their unique and successful franchise concepts directly to you! They’re all there to find new franchise partners like YOU to work with.

All summit attendees will have the opportunity to schedule a 1 on 1 consultation with our franchise experts, bankers, and franchisors in The Entrepreneur Zone.

BUT WAIT, THERE’S MORE…

The B.E.A.T.Summit isn’t just about connecting new franchisees to the businesses and the funding that they need to be successful. It’s also about introducing and showcasing the latest and greatest technologies for business owners.

Get your ticket to The Black Entrepreneurship and Technology Summit for the opportunity to experience Web3 and The Metaverse for the VERY FIRST TIME in The Technology Zone.

Each summit attendee will have the opportunity to immerse themselves into the future using one of our multiple mixed reality goggles and controllers.

The limitless boundaries and possibilities of The Metaverse and Mixed Reality are waiting for you!
