DOMINATING, AND MOVING CULTURE FORWARD THROUGH A DIFFERENT SYSTEM
ABOUT BLC
The 2024 Business & Leadership Conference (BLC) is a two-day experience purposed to equip entrepreneurs and leaders with strategies and tools to create their own economies and dominate their industries. Global business leaders will gather at BLC to discuss leadership strategies as well as to identify resources to take dominion over cities and nations.
The goal of BLC is to empower and advance the Kingdom of God in every area of influence: Business, Government, Education, Arts & Entertainment, Family, Media, and Religion.
The theme of BLC2024 is Next Level Entrepreneurship, a clarion call for Kingdom entrepreneurs to separate from traditional ways of thinking and doing business, and operate on a faith level directed by God. This power-packed conference will deliver rich, principle-based content from industry leaders and pioneers that have set a new standard through their contributions to business and culture. Join us at BLC2024 to learn how to supernaturally take new territory, reach unprecedented heights, operate with distinction, and lead by influence.
