Young, Black & Innovative Reception | Washington, D.C.

About this event

Each year the Congressional Black Caucus host its Annual Legislative Conference here in D.C. with the goals of developing leaders, inform policy and to educate the public. With the help of UNCF, Ghost Note Agency, Microsoft and Capital Cause, we have curated an evening of innovation targeting millennials who are addressing key issues that face our generation.

Our speakers will be innovators, entrepreneurs, and community organizers who will be covering an array of topics that they feel should be at the top of the political agenda for this upcoming CBC.

This event will feature activity stations, and talk about what skills they used to develop and promote their products in five minute Ted-Style talks.
