Antigua and Barbuda and the City of Buffalo in upstate New York are co-hosts of
the 33rd International Black Summit from August 3 rd to August 6 th .
Organized in 1991, to "provide an opportunity for participants to bring into being
their vision for the Black community and the world,” the International Black
Summit prepares to deliver another powerful gathering of people of African
descent throughout the African diaspora.
This year’s Annual Summit Event takes place on Thursday, August 3rd through
Sunday, August 6th in two host locations: Buffalo, New York, and Antigua, West
Indies, as well as worldwide via video conference technology!
Since its first annual event in Atlanta, Georgia, in October 1991, the New York-
based nonprofit organization has held over 32 in-person and virtual annual events
in countries around the world, including Africa, South America, North America,
the Caribbean, and Europe. Beginning with the second Annual Summit Event in
Highland Park, Michigan in 1992, its flagship program now happens during the
first weekend in August each year.
The Annual Summit Event is:
An EVENT that takes place every first weekend in August of each year,
attended by people of Black African Descent who are committed to the
unfoldment of the Declaration in their lives.
A GATHERING of people of Black African Descent from diverse
backgrounds, countries, lifestyles, opinions, and views who come together to
celebrate and empower the vision of the Declaration.
A Place to Clear Yourself so as to be able to hear what life is telling you.
Acknowledgment, Praise, and Celebration of who we are as a people and the
contribution we are to the world.
A Global Shift in the Conversation about who People of Black African
Descent are in the world.
According to the organisers participants from around the world have found the
Annual Summit Event to be a profoundly rejuvenating catalyst for transformation –
an unexpected access to self-discovery. Participants leave the Summit with
increased skill and clarity that support generating more fulfillment in life. As a
result, positive breakthroughs often occur that improve relationships, careers,
spirituality, finances, and well-being.
