Help us MAKE EQUITY BLOOM.
revolutionizing the way forward-thinking companies connect with black talent
Our whole ethos is to change the landscape of the Canadian workforce by making it more diverse, inclusive and equitable. While BLAXPO 2022 focused on empowering Black candidates on taking up the space that has been systematically taken away from them, BLAXPO 2023 was all about advancing this idea of generational wealth within the Black community while giving equitable companies more tools and resources to advance their DE&I journey.
BLAXPO 2024 will focus on fostering and nurturing justice and equality where all communities have access to opportunities, wealth and abundance.

blaxpo 2022-2023 highlights
BLAXPO 2023 transcended into a hybrid multi-touchpoint conference centering the voices of Black Canadian professionals and students. This trailblazing conference gathered more than 1100 attendees across Canada and over 30 companies from various industries to create significant connections all while providing an authentic learning experience.
BLAXPO 2022 set the tone for the new age career fair by introducing relational recruitment. By creating a safe space where Black students, professionals, entrepreneurs and wanderers could connect, companies were able to truly showcase their company culture and values by engaging with Black talent in a relaxed and inviting atmosphere.
