What is BlackEXPO?

BlackEXPO was born out of a simple desire; to illuminate the positive contributions of the community here in Beijing. There was a need for a platform to highlight our businesses and a need for space to grow together as friends, community, and supporters. BlackEXPO was put forth to fulfill that need and have a good time while doing it.

More than just a market, BlackEXPO is a lit cultural experience placing the spotlight on the community and businesses, services, and talents therein. 

You Don't Want to Miss This

The B•e team is excited to announce that BlackEXPO is an official participant in the 2018 Beijing Design Week. 

"Beijing Design Week launched its first session in Beijing in October 2009. It was authorized by Ministry of Education, Ministry of Culture and Beijing Municipal Government. With Beijing Design Week finding its presence in the worlds of creativity and design, it has grown to be the biggest and most influential Asian platform for design exhibition, promotion, exchange and trading. In 2015, Beijing Design Week was designated by the State Council to be an international cultural event to be held annually in the capital city. It has been established a public serve platform for the sustainable development of the creative and design industries."
