FIRST EVER BLACK TECH MATTERS AWARDS TO RECOGNIZE AFRICAN AMERICAN TECH ENTREPRENEURS AND INNOVATORS
Washington, DC -- In its first year, the inaugural Black Tech Matters Influencer Awards Show took over SXSW in Austin, TX and is prepared to do the same on Tuesday November 27, 2018 in the heart of the nation's capital. There are six awards in total, 5 honorees and one Lifetime Award recipient, recognizing this year's top influencers for their significant contributions to changing the global landscape for inclusion in STEM innovation.
Up to 100 guests are expected to attend the red-carpet ceremony, to be hosted at Ben's Next Door, the upscale sister restaurant to Washington, DC's iconic Ben's Chili Bowl. The event program includes a networking reception, an awards show, important announcements, and a keynote speech delivered by Thierry Lindor, Founder of Influence Orbis. Presented by WealthyLife CEO Angel Rich, guests will be treated to live performances, honorary recognitions, and great food. Tickets are now available for $25 at https://blacktechmattersawards.splashthat.com.
Angel Rich, named "the next Steve Jobs" by Forbes, says that "nothing in history is remembered until it's written and celebrated."
