Authenticity in Black Events Webinar

Are you planning events for Black History Month, Juneteenth, or to celebrate any other Black American holiday? Join our free Authenticity in Black Events webinar on February 13, led by Withrow Newell, Instructor of Hospitality and Tourism at University of Montevallo. We will discuss cultural competency in event planning, particularly when it comes to producing meaningful Black events. 

You'll walk away with a better understanding of: 

• The historical context of various Black events, such as major commemorations like Black History Month and Juneteenth, as well as smaller, more localized celebrations such as tailgates at Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs).
• The impact of Black events on local economies and tourism.
• How to create a sense of community through shared experiences. 
• Sensitivity and sensibility when planning events, especially when considering Meeting, Events, and Business Convention Standards (MEBCSs) in your event objectives.
