About the Go Global Conference
Connect, trade, partner and invest with global Black businesses and stakeholders
Go Global is built around business-to-business matchmaking rather than an endless run of panels. The focus is on real connections between multicultural businesses and stakeholders worldwide, with deal-making, partner sourcing and global networking at the centre of the programme.
Connect globally
Meet entrepreneurs, chambers and trade bodies from across the diaspora.
Source partners
Pre-scheduled matchmaking with buyers, suppliers and investors.
Leave with leads
Deal-focused sessions built around outcomes, not just panels.
Four days in Atlanta
Ten rounds of curated B2B matchmaking a day, an airport and business site-visit programme, and two receptions where the delegations actually meet.
