Rapper and entrepreneur Rick Ross will keynote the annual Black Men Talk Tech Unicorn Ambition Conference, a national, Miami-based gathering on Wednesday and Thursday that focuses on providing support for African-American tech founders.

Ross, a South Florida native, recently published “The Perfect Day to Boss Up: A Hustler’s Guide to Building Your Empire,” a how-to guide and advice book for other entrepreneurs.

“We are elated to have mogul Rick Ross as a featured keynote speaker,” Boris Moyston, Black Men Talk Tech co-founder, said in a statement. “Looking forward to his insights about how he chooses his tech investments and advice for entrepreneurs that will surely benefit our attendees.”

The conference is designed to provide exposure and resources to Black tech founders who are building innovative companies and focused on how to grow them. This year’s event features virtual and in-person sessions in Miami.
