Summit Overview

We are living in unprecedented times as we continue to manage this pandemic and the impressions that have been made on our communities. We appreciate your ongoing commitment to the future of all Black North Carolinians, now more than ever. Due to the unforeseeable impact that COVID-19 has had on our communities across the state, the North Carolina Black Alliance has decided to reevaluate its position on moving forward with the 2020 NC Black Summit. In the best interest of our partners, attendees and the NCBA we have decided to cancel the 2020 NC Black Summit hosted by the Raleigh Marriott Hotel. Alternative programming will be considered and discussed in the months ahead, using technology and virtual platforms to move forward our agenda during this critical time. 

Last year’s NC Black Summit boasted nearly 400 attendees representing counties from across North Carolina. This year’s event, properly themed “Focus on the Fight, Facing the Future”, will continue to be important as we advance our agenda for creating systemic change for North Carolinians. The NCBA remains committed to finding creative ways to continue our work united.

Please note that all hotel reservations for May 14-15 will be canceled and you will receive confirmation directly from the Raleigh Marriott Hotel. Refunds will be issued for ticket purchases and registration fees. Please note that this might take up to two weeks to process. Thank you for your patience.

Please continue to follow the guidance of public health officials: stay home, wash your hands often and practice social distancing. For more information on COVID-19, reference the official site from the Center for Disease Control regarding the COVID-19 (Coronavirus).
