3rd Annual South Florida Black Wealth Summit

2026 is all about real estate

In 2024, the Institute of Black Wealth convened more than 300 attendees from the Black tech and innovation, entrepreneurial and real estate sectors and the community to talk about wealth creation and explore actionable strategies to bridge the Black wealth gap. In 2025 we expanded the lineup of wealth strategists and successful business people and more robust programming. In 2026, we go deep with an intense focus on real estate investment and wealth through ownership.

  • Studies and advocacy is not enough.
  • We need deliberate policies and strategies to reverse the trends.
  • Contracts, deals, funding, relationships and partnerships is what’s needed.
