BECO EXPO 2025 Welcomes Omar Gooding as Keynote Speaker

The Black Eco Chamber is proud to announce that multi-talented entertainer Omar Gooding will serve as the keynote speaker at the 2nd Annual BECO EXPO, taking place on Saturday, May 31, 2025, at the exclusive Columbia Tower Club in downtown Seattle.

A respected figure in Hollywood and beyond, Omar Gooding brings over three decades of experience in television, film, music, and comedy to the stage. From his unforgettable breakout role in John Singleton’s Baby Boy to his work on popular television series like Family Time, Barbershop,  and most recently as Cal Johnson on Disney’s SATURDAYS, Gooding has consistently showcased a dynamic range of talent and charisma.

But Omar’s creativity doesn’t stop with acting. As a hip-hop artist, producer, and writer, he continues to expand his legacy—recently completing a national tour for Redemption of a Dogg, the acclaimed stage play based on the life of Snoop Dogg. His debut hip-hop album SUCCESSION dropped in October 2023, marking a powerful new chapter in his music career.

He’s also making waves in the comedy world, headlining his own We Out Here Comedy Tour and producing the Funny AF Comedy Showcase, now streaming on Tubi. With his deep commitment to storytelling and innovation across multiple genres, Omar embodies the spirit of bold entrepreneurship and creative excellence—making him the ideal voice to inspire this year’s BECO EXPO attendees.

The BECO EXPO is the signature annual event of The Black Eco Chamber, a dynamic platform that unites Black entrepreneurs, professionals, creatives, and allies for a day of empowerment, economic development, and cultural celebration. This year’s expo will feature high-level panels, networking opportunities, and a VIP After Party—all set against the backdrop of one of Seattle’s most iconic venues.
