Registration Open: Black Men in Education Convening #BMEC2025 – Oct 10

Posted by The Center for Black Educator Development on April 29, 2025

The Center for Black Educator Development is thrilled to host the 8th annual Black Men in Education Convening (#BMEC2025) on November 20 – 22, 2025 in Philadelphia, PA! We are looking to transform the education sector by recruiting, retaining, supporting, and activating more Black men to support and lead the work of revolutionizing the educational system.

Through our 2025 Black Men in Education Convening, we are continuing our tradition of educational activism, professional development, and organizing by convening Black men in education and those who support them to build community with each other through tactical thoughts, words, and actions that will help us to collectively change the lives of students and the school communities in which we serve.

This in-person convening will feature live sessions that will provide participants with a unique, communal, empathetic space to discuss the deep emotional, intellectual, and trajectory-altering work that revolutionary Black men in education engage in on a daily basis. This year’s convening theme is Power to the Pupil: History, Hip Hop, & the Future of Teaching & Learning. Our empowering agenda of speakers, panel discussions, and workshops (which we’ll share soon!) will inform, inspire, and activate Black men and others in the educational ecosystem to continue leading with humility and courage.

Please be aware that the convening may sell out before the October 10th registration deadline.
