The highly anticipated annual REVOLT x AT&T Summit is back making its return to Atlanta, GA November 11-13, 2021. This year, the summit is aiming to inspire, educate, and empower the next generation of Black leaders to build their dreams and take control of their future. The three day event will also celebrate Black excellence and the importance of hip-hop in the primary cultural epicenter of Atlanta.
“We’re excited to bring the REVOLT Summit back to Atlanta and celebrate the impact of Hip Hop globally,” said Sean “Diddy” Combs. “My goal has always been to inspire the next generation of leaders and create a platform that provides them with real access and opportunity to learn from the best in the world.”
“Atlanta is home to one of the largest creative communities in the world and has long been synonymous with Black excellence, so it only makes sense to have the Summit return here,” said Celeste Boyd-Spear, Vice President & General Manager – Southeast States, AT&T and Atlanta native. “We’re thrilled to have the Summit return with incredible programming and opportunities that will help lead the next generation of Black entrepreneurs and change makers alike.”
