Each year in a city where the Urban League has an affiliate, the organization convenes its Annual Conference. The National Urban League Annual Conference represents the largest gathering of African American professionals in the nation. Conference attendees include a wide-cross section of African American and others, and represent some of the most dynamic and influential leaders in the corporate, foundation, nonprofit, entertainment and political communities.

Movement members and other conference attendees meet to dialogue about the most critical issues confronting the African-American and urban communities and to strategize about empowering solutions.

The conference offers numerous opportunities for forging or augmenting partnerships and marketing initiatives, as well as for networking and recruiting qualified job applicants through the free, onsite Employment Zone (career fair).

Dozens of the nation's most dynamic/Fortune 500 companies take advantage of the opportunity to exhibit their products and services in the Exhibit Hall.

The Exhibit Hall, along with a free Health Fair, Art Expo and Vendors Marketplace, is also open to the public.
