Business Expo (African-art works, designs, fashions, jewelry) The expo sets the tone for events of the days. It is a pre-event where African Art works, fashion, jewelry, music, and all forms of indigenous designs will be displayed. Businesses that are affiliated with African economic and social growth are encouraged to participate. This avenue will encourage social networking.

Fashion Show And Parade African fashion is unique in style, color as it is dynamic, and it evolves overtime without losing the cultural flavor that makes it appealing to the outside world. That is why African Fashion is always the center piece of ACAN. African fashion is not rigid, it is flexible to accommodate decades of colonial influence and yet maintains its cultural tone. Fashion show and parade will showcase the different dimensions of African fashion: from the north, from the west coast, from the East (safari fashion) from the central (Congo designs) and from the South. African designers and fashion houses in and around Austin are encouraged to be involved in trade expo and fashion parade to show case their unique designs for our invitees.
