Athene Black & Brown Business Summit 2025
The award-winning, Athene Black & Brown Business Summit presented by Wells Fargo was created by national stakeholders to elevate ethnic minorities and bring BIPOC businesses together to assist with connection building, programming, promotion, training, and to provide resources to help businesses grow and prosper.
The fifth annual Athene Black & Brown Business Summit, held April 16 and 17, will bring everyone from entrepreneurs to seasoned professionals together in West Des Moines, Iowa. The Summit includes a pitch competition, breakout sessions led by top experts, Mel Essex Award, inspirational keynote speakers and more. Our goal is to help advance the minority business community across the country and position Iowa as the best place in the nation to start and lead a minority business.
