BLACK ENTERPRISE magazine, your ultimate guide to financial empowerment, is the premier business news and investment resource for African Americans. Founded in 1970, BLACK ENTERPRISE provides essential business information and advice to professionals, corporate executives, entrepreneurs, and decision makers. Each month, the publication provides more than 3.9 million readers with information on financial management, entrepreneurship, careers, and wealth building. BLACK ENTERPRISE is the definitive source of information for and about African American business markets and leaders, and the authority on black business news and trends.
The Black Wealth Initiative, introduced in January 2000, is a comprehensive wealth-building program designed to provide African Americans with the tools they need to become financially empowered. At the core of this wealth-building campaign is BLACK ENTERPRISE’s Declaration of Financial Empowerment (DOFE), 10 principles developed to help African Americans make a commitment to amassing wealth.

blackenterprise.com is the virtual desktop for African Americans. Each day, the site provides the latest in black business news and enhances business development and networking opportunities for individuals and corporations seeking information pertaining to African Americans, or seeking to do business with African Americans.
Launched in 1996 at Walt Disney World in Orlando, Florida, the Black Enterprise Entrepreneurs Conference features four days of seminars, networking, and the free exchange of ideas. Held annually in May, it is the largest gathering of African American entrepreneurs in the country. In 2004, the Entrepreneurs Conference relocated to the Hilton Anatole Hotel (formerly the Wyndham Anatole Hotel) in Dallas, Texas.
[edit] Seminars
The Black Enterprise Golf & Tennis Challenge was established in 1994 at the Doral Golf Resort and Spa in Miami, Florida. Understanding that not all power plays occur in the boardroom, more than 1,500 corporate executives, entrepreneurs, and professionals came together over Labor Day weekend for what was to become the premier business/networking event in the African American community. In 2006, the event will be held at the La Costa Golf Resort and Spa in Carlsbad, California.
In February 2006, Black Enterprise debuted its Women of Power Summit, a four-day career enhancement seminar designed exclusively for women executives of color. Held at the Arizona Biltmore Resort & Spa in Phoenix, Arizona, the event attracted more than 500 professional women from across the country, representing corporate America and entrepreneurs.
