Career & Networking Expo — August 21, 2026

Colorado Dashiki Fest Presents | Community College of Aurora, Rotunda Cafe | 4 PM–7 PM

A week before the 10th Annual Colorado Dashiki Festival, something else is happening that is worth showing up for.

The Career & Networking Expo is on August 21, 2026, at the Community College of Aurora, Rotunda Cafe, from 4 PM to 7 PM. It is free to attend and open to job seekers, professionals, entrepreneurs, and business owners.

What is happening at the expo

This is not a stand-and-smile networking event where people collect business cards and leave. The expo brings together recruiters, hiring organisations, and business professionals under one roof with a clear purpose.

Here is what attendees can expect:

• Live networking with industry leaders and hiring organisations actively looking for talent.

• Recruiter booths from companies that came specifically to meet people. 

• Speaker sessions covering career growth and business opportunities. 

• And the broader energy of a room that is connected to the Colorado African diaspora and the wider community around it.

If you are looking for a job, this is a room with people who can help you find one. If you are building a business, this is a room full of potential partners, clients, and collaborators. If you are a professional looking to expand your network, this is exactly where you should be on August 21.

Then August 29 comes

The expo is one week before the 10th Annual Colorado Dashiki Festival. If you are already planning to be at the festival on August 29, add August 21 to your calendar as well. Two different experiences, both worth your time.

The expo is focused on career and business. The festival is a cultural celebration at scale. Together, they make for two weeks in Denver that the African diaspora and broader community will be talking about well into next year.
