PARTICIPATION EXPECTATION

By submitting this form, participating brands acknowledge that MOBFEST™ is designed as an immersive experience centered on Black ownership, entrepreneurship, and community.

​

Brands are encouraged to engage with attendees beyond transactions—sharing experiences, insights, and encouragement when appropriate—to help create an environment where attendees leave inspired, informed, and empowered.

​

Examples may include demonstrations, tastings, consultations, customizations, hands-on activities, workshops, live recordings, content creation stations, creative installations, and interactive experiences related to beauty, wellness, food and beverage, fashion, art, and professional services.

​

We're NOT asking you to become a coach or consultant—simply to contribute to an environment where people leave informed, encouraged, and empowered.  This expectation reflects the spirit of MOBFEST™ and applies to all approved participating brands.
