African Chamber Gala

St. Louis Africans Diaspora Rising; It Time for Africa!

On Thursday, April 3, 2025, the African Chamber of Commerce of St. Louis will host its Annual Fundraiser Gala in St. Louis, MO. This highly anticipated event celebrates the vibrant African business community in the region and serves as the Chamber’s largest and most publicized event of the year.

Now in its second year since the Chamber's establishment in 2017, the African Chamber of Commerce was founded by economic and community development professionals committed to fostering relationships and investments within the African immigrant community to grow St. Louis’s business environment.

This year’s Gala theme, “St. Louis Africans Rising; Its time for Africa” will highlight the Chamber’s origins, its impact on the St. Louis community, and the tremendous opportunities for collaboration and business development with African talent and markets. The evening will also feature a celebration of African culture, including delicious cuisine, engaging entertainment, and a showcase of our talented members.

Last year, the Gala attracted over 120 local elected officials, civic leaders, and business professionals, offering a dynamic platform for networking and building relationships. This year promises to be even more impactful, with over 200 guests expected. And we are excited to invite you to join us as a distinguished sponsor.

African Women in Healthcare Forum

In celebration of Women's History Month, the African Chamber of Commerce is proud to announce a Women's Healthcare Forum. This event is a tribute to the remarkable contributions of women, particularly Black immigrants, to the healthcare sector. Studies underscore the pivotal role Black immigrants play in healthcare, with over 560,000 actively engaged in the field in 2018. Remarkably, these dedicated individuals constituted 3.4 percent of all healthcare workers, a figure nearly three times their representation in the broader U.S. population. Join us as we honor and recognize the invaluable impact of these trailblazing women in shaping the healthcare landscape.
