On behalf of The National Office of Progressive Black Men, Inc. we are delighted to invite you to the 20th Annual National Conference in Gainesville, Fl from April 6 – April 9, 2023.
While the COVID-19 pandemic created a tumultuous experience for us, it has only emboldened the foundation of our organization; which is to provide communal support to the many communities that we maneuver within. Whether it has been in-person or virtual, the conference continues to be an amazing experience that has brought us to celebrate over 30 years in existence. We’ve continued to partner with amazing organizations, and accomplish impactful community service and have opportunities to fellowship with brothers.
This year’s conference we are planning a great agenda with activities such as roundtables, senior send-offs, professional seminars, interactive workshops, and concluding our national banquet.
The 20th Annual National Conference will be held at the Hilton University of Florida- Conference Center from April 6 – April 9, 2023.. Please note that the conference will begin promptly on Friday morning! We ask that everyone please plan in advance to attend for the scheduled dates.
