NEW YORK, Dec. 7, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Today, BLACK ENTERPRISE, the No. 1 Black digital media brand with 12 million unique monthly visitors, announced the virtual 40 Under 40 Summit hosted by Now and Later would return on Thursday, Dec. 8. This year's summit follows BLACK ENTERPRISE's inaugural 40 Under 40 Honoree Dinner which celebrated esteemed Black leaders who have demonstrated excellence in their respective industries.

The BLACK ENTERPRISE 40 Under 40 Summit aims to equip young Black professionals with tools and resources to grow their businesses, excel in their careers, and build generational wealth.

I'm so excited about the amazing lineup of inspirational speakers—many of whom are listed on the 2022 Black Enterprise 40 Under 40 list—at this year's virtual summit. Through their sessions and panel discussions, I'm confident that attendees will walk away with key learnings and takeaways that will help them take their professional lives, businesses, and finances to the next level in 2023," said black enterprise's Deputy Digital Editor Selena Hill.
