About
The Black Owned Small Business Expo, is Maryland’s largest and fastest growing event dedicated to showcasing locally owned minority businesses.
The Annual Black-Owned Small Business Expo was created to unite and uplift minority-owned businesses by providing a platform that celebrates their presence, power, and potential within our community. Now approaching its 10th year, the Expo has evolved into a signature event that connects local entrepreneurs with thousands of engaged supporters, essential business-building resources, and corporate service providers committed to helping them grow.
Our mission is to foster visibility, equity, and generational success for Black and minority-owned businesses through meaningful exposure, high-quality education, and strategic connections. We aim to create a space that blends professionalism with cultural celebration, an elevated experience where entrepreneurship is honored, connections are built, and minority businesses thrive.
The BOSB Expo is held twice a year with our spring show being featured at locations such as; FedEx Field (Sports & Learning Complex) The Baltimore Convention Center, The Baltimore Armory and the Waldorf Culture Center. Our Fall show, held every Small Business Saturday (the day after Black Friday) is held at our home venue, The Showplace Arena in Upper Marlboro, MD.
