American Express, hosted the famed Business Class LIVE conference this past past July at the Javits Center in New York.

The event was created to inspire and support small business owners and leaders from all walks of life with strong connections and expert insights. The day was filled with in-person panels and workshops with experts

on cash flow management, marketing strategies, contracting opportunities, and workplace wellness for small business owners from all over the US.

 

The Business Class LIVE was a successful conference for its post -covid return in NYC. It linked business owners, by helping them learn from industry experts and entrepreneurs, with mega stars like Issa Rae.

The majority of attendees were small businesses owned by,

Women of color, including A Dope Femme.
