Our mission is to empower Black professionals through networking, workshops, and collaborative opportunities, driving forward the development of our communities.

• Hosted By: Evergreen State College, Tacoma Campus, Key Tech Labs, Community Power Collaborative, The Digital Business Center and COOP, and the Black Developers Group

It’s any plan you are currently developing that could directly help and support the community. It could be anything, such as a plan for a micro business that could be a micro franchise paired with micro-loans to support business development within the community, funded by the community. Or maybe an app that helps the community access healthy food from local BIPOC farms through a CSA program that tracks food logistics from farm to fork. Or even a plan to buy land in PNW to develop a multi-use area that hosts an off-grid tiny house village, an agrivoltaics solar farm producing both electricity and food on the same piece of land, healing retreats, eco-festivals, and an LED wall virtual studio, all powered by solar and renewable energy systems located on the same plot of land. These are all examples of Community Developers Pitches!  Click below to be taken to our Community Developer Pitch Session page; you will see the latest community developer pitch. 

Hear about projects and plans from local PNW developers on how they plan to help rebuild the infrastructure of our community from the ground up. If you have a plan for helping the community, sign up to pitch your plan to our group of community developers. 

We’re excited to hear your innovative ideas! If you have a project that can help rebuild and support our community, sign up to pitch it at the conference. Whether it's a micro business plan, an app for healthy food access, or a land development project, we want to hear from you.
