Black Expo 2008 is the largest African American event in Northern California. It is an event that is designed to promote African American economic development and to offer companies, large and small, the opportunity to access our lucrative, oft overlooked market. No other event throughout the year in the Bay Area is designed to focus the spotlight on and contribute to the economic empowerment of the African American community as much as Black Expo 2008. No other event receives the same level of community, small business and corporate participation. And no other event is identified as strongly as a showcase event in our community. There are many benefits people receive when they attend the Expo. Some find new business opportunities, some meet old friends and make new ones. Many gain useful information to improve their lives throughout the year. Some find new jobs and others find new hobbies. And just about everyone finds businesses they can patronize Expo weekend and throughout the year. And, of course, they have a great time!

Black Expo 2008 draws attendees from as far north as Sacramento, as far south as the Monterey/Salinas area and as far east as Modesto and Stockton. In addition we have had people come from Los Angeles and Seattle for the event. Black Expo 2008 is well on its way to becoming a "destination event" with people from around the country utilizing the timing of the Expo as an opportunity to visit the Bay Area and come see friends and family. Black Expo 2008 will be a family affair, and as such draws young and old. The median age range for previous Expos was 25-45. It is expected that Black Expo 2008 will attract a similar age group (except for College Day 2008).
Black Expo 2008 is an event for the entire African American community and attracts individuals from throughout the community. We make special efforts to target working class, middle class and upper class individuals who have disposable income to spend with our vendors. Therefore the average income for our attendees is higher than the average income in the African American community in Northern California
