Texas Black Expo 2026

23rd Annual Summer Celebration

Economic Prosperity Creates Awesome Communities

Dear Partners and Prospective Sponsors,

Over two decades ago, Texas Expo was founded with a singular objective: to create scalable pathways for economic growth, entrepreneurial advancement, and community empowerment. Through flagship initiatives such as the Summer Celebration, we have built a proven legacy of supporting small business development, increasing financial literacy among youth, and creating measurable opportunities that strengthen families and communities across Texas.

The 2026 Texas Expo Summer Celebration will take place May 15–16, 2026, in Houston, Texas.

This year’s theme, Future Forward: Pathways to Prosperity, reflects our commitment to moving beyond conversation and into execution—equipping entrepreneurs, professionals, and institutions with the relationships, insights, and access required to

build sustainable economic outcomes.

The 2026 program will convene business owners, C-suite executives, policymakers, and community leaders to explore forward-looking strategies around contracting, capital access, workforce development, and wealth creation. Anchoring this year’s experience is our featured presenter, Damola Adamolekun, CEO of Red Lobster, whose leadership journey exemplifies transformation, operational excellence, and long-term value creation at scale.

Partnership with Texas Expo is not symbolic—it is strategic.

Sponsors and partners play a direct role in advancing initiatives that:

Accelerate small business growth through access to decision-makers, contracts, and capital pathways.
Equip youth with financial and entrepreneurial competencies that support long-term wealth building and workforce readiness.
Create high-impact environments for collaboration, innovation, and deal-making across the public and private sectors.

We invite you to join us as a strategic partner in the 2026 Texas Expo Summer Celebration and to align your brand with a platform that delivers visibility, influence, and measurable community impact. Please review our sponsorship opportunities and

consider becoming part of a movement that is intentionally shaping the future of prosperity.

Thank you for your continued support and belief in the power of intentional investment in people, business, and community.
