This year's theme, “The Journey Continues,” encapsulates the spirit of perseverance and dedication that characterizes our community's ongoing struggle towards equality and economic empowerment. We are especially proud that our founder, Malcolm Jenkins, will be delivering the keynote speech. Malcolm will delve into themes from his new book, *What Winners Won’t Tell You*, discussing the critical lessons learned from both his victories and setbacks. His journey from a celebrated NFL player to a successful entrepreneur embodies the resilience and dedication AACCNJ aims to highlight at this year’s expo.

The expo will feature an array of activities tailored to inspire and support entrepreneurs and community members, including:

- Innovative exhibits from up to 90 local businesses

- Matchmaking sessions to connect entrepreneurs with mentors and investors
