Ubiquitous Women’s Expo 2026 opens Friday, August 21, at The Hall at Live! in Hanover with a three-day program built around culture, commerce, community, and the theme “Rising in Resilience.” The 12th annual gathering combines entertainment with conversations about leadership, business, health, wellness, faith, and personal development.

Friday’s Black & Bling Party is scheduled from 9 p.m. to 1 a.m. Erana and Jamie Tyler are set to host, with a Baltimore-versus-Washington DJ mix, a special appearance by October London, and a performance from Big Daddy Kane. The opening-night program also includes fashion, networking, and a VIP dessert reception tied to October London’s appearance.

Saturday shifts to the Motivate II Elevate program from 11 a.m. to 7 p.m. Announced participants include Roland Martin, Dr. Karri Bryant, Cynthia Bailey, and the C Awards. The day is structured around fireside chats, master classes, panels, workshops, shopping, and discussions intended to connect entrepreneurship with practical personal and professional growth.

The expo closes Sunday with Food for the Soul from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. The faith-and-wellness program includes Le’Andria Johnson, Pastor Dante King, Dr. Kym Lee-King, Monique Samuels, and other announced guests. Organizers also list health, lifestyle, and community conversations alongside the marketplace for emerging and established brands.

The venue is inside Live! Casino & Hotel Maryland at 7002 Arundel Mills Circle in Hanover. Ticket types and access vary by program, so guests should review the current ticket listing before arrival. The event’s official information also highlights free parking, exhibitor opportunities, sponsor activations, and a weekend marketplace centered on women-owned and community-serving brands.

For PowerPage readers, the expo’s business and community focus connects with continuing regional conversations about opportunity and household stability, including PowerPage’s report on Reinvest Baltimore homeownership incentives.
