TIMES SQUARE SET TO BECOME A POWERHOUSE OF BUSINESS CONNECTIONS AS MULTICHAMBER NETWORKING EVENT BRINGS ENTREPRENEURS AND BUSINESS LEADERS TO NEW YORK CITY

NEW YORK, NY — October 27, 2026 — Excitement is building throughout the New York metropolitan business community as entrepreneurs, executives, professionals and community leaders prepare for an upscale Multicultural Multichamber Business Networking Experience on Wednesday, November 4, 2026, from 6 to 9 p.m. at Kitchen + Kocktails by Kevin Kelley, 7 Times Square, Manhattan.

With just over a week remaining, organizers are encouraging business owners and professionals from New York City's five boroughs, Nassau County, Suffolk County and beyond to register for an evening dedicated to expanding professional relationships, strengthening regional business connections and creating new economic opportunities.

MULTIPLE CHAMBERS. ONE DESTINATION. UNLIMITED POSSIBILITIES.

Hosted by the African American Small Business Foundation, Inc., in partnership with the New York City Minority Small Business Chamber of Commerce, Inc., Long Island African American Chamber of Commerce, Inc., and One Hundred Black Men of Eastern New York, Inc., the event will bring together organizations committed to entrepreneurship, leadership and economic empowerment.

Attendees will have opportunities to meet business leaders from diverse industries, introduce their companies and services, establish referral relationships and explore potential collaborations.

"This is more than a networking event. It is about bringing people together who have the ability to create opportunities for one another," said Phil Andrews, president of the Long Island African American Chamber of Commerce and founding president of the New York City Minority Small Business Chamber of Commerce.

"When entrepreneurs and business leaders from different communities connect, we strengthen the economic foundation of our entire region. We want everyone who attends to leave with new relationships, new possibilities and a renewed commitment to business growth."

A GROWING VOICE FOR MINORITY-OWNED BUSINESSES

A major focus of the gathering will be introducing more entrepreneurs and professionals to the New York City Minority Small Business Chamber of Commerce, Inc., whose slogan is "NYC's Voice for Minority Small Business."

The organization seeks to support minority-owned enterprises through business education, advocacy, networking, access to resources and strategic partnerships.
