The Black Ivy League Business conference
The University of Pennsylvania’s Black Wharton Undergraduate Association (BWUA) is proud to host the 10th Annual Black Ivy League Business Conference (BILBCon). The Black Ivy League Business Conference was founded in 2016 as an elite conference whose purpose is to bring together ambitious and high-achieving Black students for two days to offer them a unique platform to collectively further their professional development. The Black Ivy League Business Conference stands out as a cornerstone event, embodying BWUA’s profound commitment to diversity and inclusion. This distinguished conference draws in over 200 undergraduate students from all Ivy League institutions and prestigious HBCU’s Howard University, Morehouse, and Spelman each bringing their unique backgrounds and insights, thereby uniting and empowering undergraduate students who share a common interest in business. BWUA, with its diverse membership spanning various majors and industry interests, provides a broad spectrum of perspectives and expertise, enriching the conference experience.
Our theme for this year’s conference is Advancing Black Enterprise: A Decade of Impact. we are expanding our vision, empowering attendees to transform ambition into action through mentorship, industry insights, and lasting connections. Featuring dynamic workshops, thought-provoking panels, and leaders from across sectors, BILBcon offers more than inspiration — it delivers access, strategies, and networks that accelerate both personal and professional growth.
