AFROTECH 2026 · NOV 2–7 · HOUSTON, TX
Stop Scrolling Job Boards. Start Meeting Hiring Managers.
200+ companies across tech, finance, healthcare, media, consulting, and more, all hiring, all in one building. On-site interviews, resume reviews, career workshops, and 40,000+ professionals who get it. Three days. Face to face. No more applying into the void.
THE REAL PROBLEM
You're Ready for What's Next. You Just Need the Right Room.
You've been grinding: updating the resume, tweaking the LinkedIn, applying to roles that never write back. The networking events feel like everyone's just swapping business cards with no follow-through. And the online applications? Black hole. Meanwhile, the best opportunities still go to people who know someone. You have the talent. What you need is access to the rooms where hiring actually happens.
WHAT AFROTECH CHANGES
What changes when you show up
Meet Hiring Managers Face to Face
No more wondering if anyone even read your application. At AfroTech, you walk up to the booth, introduce yourself, and talk directly to the people who make hiring decisions.
On-Site Interviews + Resume Reviews
Companies collect resumes and hire on the spot. People walk out of AfroTech with actual offers. Bring your resume and be ready.
Career Workshops That Actually Help
Skip the motivational fluff. These are tactical sessions: how to position a non-traditional background, which industries are hiring hardest right now, and what hiring managers actually care about in 2026.
200+ Companies Across Every Industry
Tech, finance, healthcare, media, energy, government, and consulting, plus roles in engineering, marketing, operations, design, sales, and more. Fortune 500s and startups you need to know about, all hiring under one roof.
A Network That Actually Shows Up for You
This is real community. 40,000+ Black professionals across every industry who share notes, make intros, and open doors for each other long after the conference is over.
Talent Infusion
Upload your resume before you even pack your bag. Companies start reviewing profiles weeks out, so you could land on someone's interview list before you touch down in Houston.
Update Your ResumeCAREER MOVES
These career moves all started at AfroTech.
"I was a teacher pivoting into UX design. I did three portfolio reviews at AfroTech and had two interviews lined up before I even left Houston."
"No other conference lets you walk up to a VP of Engineering and have a real conversation. I got my referral on the expo floor and started at Stripe two months later."
"The career workshop taught me how to frame my marketing experience as product thinking. I rewrote my resume at the conference and got callbacks the same week."
"I thought my nursing background was a liability in tech. AfroTech showed me it was my biggest asset. Three companies at the career fair were specifically looking for healthcare domain expertise."
"The salary negotiation workshop alone saved me $35K on my next offer. I didn't even know I was underpaid until I learned the replacement-cost framework they taught."
200+ COMPANIES. ALL HIRING.
Companies That Actually Show Up to Hire
