Rock Hill, SC

Join the excitement at WealthCon, a dynamic three-day event designed to empower black and brown families on their journey toward financial success. Picture a weekend filled with fun and inspiration – from movie nights that spark meaningful conversations to vibrant festival days brimming with engaging sessions, outdoor activities, local businesses, delicious food, and live music. WealthCon isn’t just an event; it’s a vibrant community celebration where everyone is welcome.

For black and brown families, WealthCon represents an important opportunity to break down financial barriers and build generational wealth. Historically, these communities have faced systemic obstacles hindering economic growth and access to financial resources. WealthCon seeks to change that narrative by providing tools, education, and a supportive network to help families thrive financially. Join us at WealthCon and let this be your kickoff to a future where money isn’t a worry, but a tool for achieving dreams and securing a prosperous legacy.
