The Black Impact Foundation (BIF) has announced the postponement of the Global Black Impact Summit (GBIS) to February 22-23, 2024, in the United Arab Emirates due to deep concern about global events that are taking place.
GBIS is a celebration of Black achievement, bringing together role models, prominent individuals, and leaders from all over the world to foster connectedness and engagement while motivating the next generation of leaders. With everything that is going on in the globe, both the BIF and the GBIS event organiser Energy Capital & Power recognise that this is a time of sombre reflection rather than global celebration.
“In light of the current global situation, we have made the decision to postpone GBIS to next year. A central point of focus of the summit is to connect the global Black community, uniting people, companies, and leaders under efforts to strengthen communities, generate new ideas, and innovations while promoting the power that Black people hold. Our choice is driven by a respect for all those affected by current global events,” states Clarence Seedorf, Chairman of the BIF.
Our thoughts are with all those impacted. Stay resilient, and we will convene shortly to pursue our shared goal of fostering positive change.
