Mark our words when we tell you that there is no other place on earth that celebrates black men the way that we do. And if you were at the Black Men XCEL Summit last year, you know that there ain’t no party like a BMX party because a BMX party don’t stop! From Aug. 29 – Sept. 2, black professionals are planning on playing just as hard as we plan on working to find solutions that will uplift black men in every area of their lives.
After all, what better time is there to turn up than Labor Day weekend and what better place than in sunny Florida?! We know you’re probably thinking of a few places, but, best believe when we tell you that there is no other place that you should be than with us. From spa treatments to back-to-back parties, you are guaranteed to let loose and live your life.
If you couldn’t tell, we’re hype about being less than a month away from all of the festivities! And as you ladies and gentlemen get ready to pack your bags and head to Palm Beach Gardens we wanted to be sure that we put you on to all of the “lituations” that will be taking place this time around.
Here are 11 can’t miss activities at Black Men XCEL:
- Mars vs Venus – Forget what you thought you knew about the battle of the sexes because it goes down at Mars vs Venus. If you want to see brothas and sistahs go toe-to-toe over a good game of trivia then you need to join us and Chris Spencer at Mars vs Venus. The ladies took home the win last year but we hear that the fellas are coming back stronger than ever! So bring you’re A-game!

- Time on the green – If you’re looking to unwind, network, and spend some quality time on the green there is no better place to do that than at the PGA National Resort & Spa in sunny Florida. Leveling up is a must for every professional so why not join us for the golfing academy and then show off your stroke during the golf tournament? You have nothing to lose and everything to gain!
