ABOUT THE EVENT
WHAT IS BBE TRADE SHOW 2026?
The BBE Trade Show 2026 is a two day business, cultural, and community engagement event taking place on September 4th and 5th, 2026. Hosted by Black Business Edmonton (BBE), the event brings together entrepreneurs, corporate organizations, community leaders, government agencies, and consumers to celebrate entrepreneurship, foster meaningful connections, and support economic growth.
Building on the success of the BBE Trade Fair 2024 and 2025, which collectively featured over 150 vendors and welcomed more than 2,000 attendees, the BBE Trade Show 2026 introduces an enhanced two day experience. Day one will focus on business development workshops, health and wellness sessions, cultural programming, procurement conversations, and networking opportunities. Day two will feature a vibrant exhibition showcasing approximately 60 businesses and organizations across a variety of industries.
The event is designed to create opportunities for business visibility, community engagement, cross cultural collaboration, and professional growth while connecting attendees with valuable resources, services, and partnerships.
