“The Expo’s primary emphasis for 2013 event, as it has been for the past 18 years, is on the aspirations, opportunities and challenges of African American women”, said Merry Green, president and CEO of MGPG Events and creator of the Expo. “Moreover, we are extremely excited about the power of our partnership with Real Times Media to further explore these themes”.

In a unique partnership with Real Times Media (RTM) TBWE will now reach audiences across the nation. RTM is a multimedia conglomerate that oversees print, news, directories, media, digital, events and entertainment holdings in some 25 markets and will help extend the reach of TBWE to new markets across the country. The goal of the partnership is to leverage both organizations unique expertise in engagement marketing and event production and demonstrated success with large-scale multi-market events including the hugely successful “Who’s Who” franchise.

“RTM has both the reach and resources to increase the visibility of TBWE, as the MGPG team continues its relentless focus on content and quality”, says Hiram Jackson, CEO of Real Times Media. “Real Times Media has always realized the significance of the African American consumer, even more so we recognize the influence women have over household buying decisions. This partnership with MGPG Events and The Black Women’s Expo is a match with unrivaled potential.”

The Black Women’s Expo continues to offer the perfect venue for small to mid-sized businesses and large corporations to reach the all-important African American consumer.

At the Exhibitor Marketplace, businesses and corporations have the opportunity to reach out and touch this valued consumer segment at the grassroots level and expose them directly to their products and services through sales, distributions, and personal interactions.

As in previous years, TBWE will feature national experts in a variety of fields to address topics that are particularly important to African American women.
