Allyship & Action Summit
We’re still not past the systematic racial challenges of the advertising industry. How do we sustain racial conversations and educate beyond, “black tile tuesday”?
Highlights
The summit will be a source of information on allyship and providing tangible next steps on anti-racism in ad land for all.
We don’t want anyone on the sidelines during this moment and in the future. We’ll have workshops and talks designed for scalable and sustainable action.
We’ll connect allies to black creatives and other allies to learn and continue the conversation. We’re a community first and an industry second. Now let’s connect for TRUE allyship.
