Black & Latino Economic Summit 2026
Building Wealth, Creating Opportunity, Strengthening Communities
The Black Protector proudly supports initiatives that promote economic empowerment, business ownership, affordable housing, and generational wealth. The National Black & Latino Economic Summit continues to serve as one of the nation’s leading gatherings focused on closing the racial wealth gap and expanding opportunities for underserved communities.
What is the Summit?
The National Black & Latino Economic Summit brings together:
- Community leaders
- Small business owners
- Affordable housing developers
- Non-profit organizations
- Faith-based institutions
- Financial institutions
- Corporate executives
- Investors and entrepreneurs
The mission is simple but powerful: to create solutions that help Black and Latino communities build long-term economic strength through affordable housing, small business ownership, access to capital, and strategic partnerships.
Looking Ahead
The 2026 Summit is expected to build on the success of previous years, where hundreds of organizations, developers, and small businesses came together to collaborate and create new opportunities. Organizers have announced plans for expanded programming and even greater access to resources designed to help communities grow and prosper.
The Summit also continues to honor the vision and legacy of its late founder, Albert PiƱa, whose work helped create a blueprint for advancing economic justice and community development.
More Than a Conference
The Summit is designed to create lasting relationships and practical results through:
- Solution-based educational sessions
- Affordable housing development workshops
- Small business growth strategies
- Access to banks and community lenders
- Networking with industry leaders
- Capital and funding opportunities
- Community partnerships
In addition to the annual event, regional virtual Aftercare Sessions help participants continue building relationships, accessing resources, and developing projects long after the Summit concludes.
