The HUB
Where Culture, Commerce, and Community Converge
Experience the intersection of Black culture and social impact at the Hub. Powered by NAACP, the Hub at the NAACP National Convention features art, sports, entertainment, and technology. Support Black-owned brands, attend inspiring talks on wealth-building, wellness, and mental health.
More than a traditional exhibit hall, the HUB is an immersive experience featuring live demos, product activations, and cultural programming. It's where entrepreneurs, small businesses, major brands, and creatives come together to engage a dynamic, socially conscious audience.
The Hub is free and open to the public.
