DC BLACK NYC is an exclusive event for a select group of Dynamite Circle BLACK members. Founders will convene in New York City to address significant business and personal challenges, gain valuable insights, and conclude the year with renewed clarity and drive.
The event is designed to be straightforward, valuable, and purposeful, encouraging members to bring their challenges for collaborative problem-solving. The program includes focused business sessions such as mastermind groups, skill-sharing, and facilitated discussions, as well as deep-dive conversations inspired by business challenges, economic history, leadership, and the cultural context of New York City. Attendees can also anticipate shared, NYC-specific experiences to foster connection outside of working sessions.
