This year, we gather under a theme that honors heritage while forging the future. Through curated sessions, dynamic speakers, and immersive experiences, we’ll explore how Black leaders are shaping legacies rooted in purpose, power, and progress. Join a vibrant community of entrepreneurs, innovators, wealth creators, and professionals from Austin and beyond for a day designed to elevate leadership, celebrate identity, and ignite transformation. Backed by a bold visual identity inspired by tech innovation and Adinkra symbolism, this year’s conference is where tradition meets trajectory.
Be part of a movement that’s defining what’s next.
The day began with a question: What will you do with this moment? Dr. Dennis Kimbro closes it with the answer. As our 2025 Black X Conference draws to a close, Dr. Kimbro delivers the Legacy & Prosperity Address—a keynote designed to move us from inspiration to intention. This is more than a finale. It’s the fulfillment of a promise. While Dr. Steve Perry stirred the room with the urgency of now, Dr. Kimbro offers the vision for what’s next. He reminds us that legacy is not just what we leave behind—it’s what we live into. That prosperity isn’t measured only in capital, but in clarity, purpose, discipline, and generational empowerment. Backed by the purpose-driven partnership of Prosperity Bank, this closing keynote reframes prosperity as a cultural strategy: not just for wealth creation, but for wealth retention. Not just for individual gain, but for collective elevation. In a world that often tells Black leaders to shrink, to defer, to settle—this message will do the opposite. Dr. Kimbro will help us reimagine success on our terms. He’ll remind us that legacy without prosperity is incomplete, and prosperity without legacy is hollow. True leadership must hold both. This is a moment for reflection, affirmation, and renewal. A final ignition point before we return to our communities, companies, and callings. Dr. Kimbro’s words will not simply close the day—they will echo into everything that follows. This is not an end. It is a continuation. A charge to lead. A framework to build. And a reminder that your legacy begins now.
