BLAXPO x Melamoon

This year’s experience also includes BLAXPO x Melamoon, combining BLAXPO’s professional network with a founder-focused experience supporting Black entrepreneurs through education, investment and visibility.

For founders and creative entrepreneurs, this part is especially worth paying attention to because it moves the conversation beyond networking into the business-building and capital side of entrepreneurship.

You should know:

Creators are increasingly building businesses, not just audiences.

If you’re a content creator, podcaster, filmmaker, creative entrepreneur or freelancer thinking about sponsorships, partnerships, funding, technology, hiring or growing beyond a one-person operation, being connected to Canada’s broader Black business ecosystem matters.

BLAXPO is an opportunity to meet people you may not encounter at a traditional creator conference — including recruiters, investors, founders, executives and corporate decision-makers.

Who should attend

Black professionals, entrepreneurs, founders, creatives, students, executives, job seekers and community builders looking for career development, business resources and new professional connections.

Tickets start at $40 CAD.

Current ticket options include Student, Experience, Legacy and Corporate admission.
