LOS ANGELES, Sept. 15, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- The annual
REVOLT Summit x AT&T is back and going entirely virtual and
free of cost for a 3-day summit from October
23-25. Leading up to the flagship event, starting
September 15, REVOLT and AT&T
will premiere a digital content series ROAD TO SUMMIT - THE WORLD
IS YOURS, co-produced by Teyana
Taylor & the Aunties.
In response to the pandemic, the virtual event and content
series will continue the REVOLT Summit x AT&T tradition of
creating viral, cultural moments with the young, Black, and vocal
audience at the center of history-making events, instilling the
idea that "the world is yours."
The ROAD TO SUMMIT - THE WORLD IS YOURS is an original series
that highlights emerging artists, entrepreneurs and creators
sharing the trials and triumphs of chasing success. Offerings will
include five (5) digital episodes on important narratives
surrounding Hip Hop and the current cultural climate. ROAD TO
SUMMIT episodes will be available to stream at no cost on the
REVOLT Summit app and will be released weekly, leading to the 3-day
summit in October. This accompanies the return of one-on-one
mentoring with AT&T's Office Hours sessions and all new
Executive Chats, virtual group conversations with leading industry
executives, including Ghazi Shami, CEO and Founder of EMPIRE.
"The goal of the REVOLT SUMMIT is to empower and inspire the
next generation of leaders," said REVOLT
Chairman Sean
Combs. "Last year, we had huge success in
Atlanta and Los Angeles, and this year we are opening up
the REVOLT SUMMIT to the world. This is a pivotal moment in history
and we are bringing together the best minds in entertainment,
political activism and business to share their experiences, educate
and motivate our community."
"As we face a critical moment in our history, it's more
important than ever that we create an experience anchored in
empowering the next generation of cultural leaders and elevating
the Black community globally," said Detavio Samuels, REVOLT
Media & TV COO.
"AT&T is thrilled to be back with REVOLT this year for the
first-ever virtual Summit. We recognize the value of Black-owned
businesses and continue to put resources towards initiatives that
focus on fostering economic growth and innovations within the
communities we serve," said Corey
Anthony, Chief Diversity Officer, AT&T. "Now more
than ever before, it's imperative for communities of color to bring
our voices together and lead our future generations to
success."
