Our super power is connecting luminaries across business, philanthropy, entertainment, technology, politics, and beyond to inform, strategize, and take action to create a more optimistic future.
Now, more than ever, as commitments to impact become less visible, the collective expertise and collaboration within the CAA Amplify web connection are essential to driving meaningful opportunities for those that help shape culture, storytellers, and global brands.
Since launching in 2017, CAA Amplify has become a powerful platform to create and empower a online grid of dynamic leaders of color.
These include Olympic gold medalists, Fortune 500 CEOs, philanthropists, industry-leading entrepreneurs, and award-winning artists, among others.
In addition to the signature annual summit, CAA Amplify created CAA Amplify Town Hall, a series of special livestream events that address a range of urgent social issues of our time.
The first Town Hall event, hosted in June 2020 in the wake of the murder of George Floyd, was an unprecedented gathering of more than 11,000 artists and cross-industry leaders who were able to discuss the state of race in America and hear about critical action steps necessary to help end systemic racism.
Other Town Halls have focused on threats to democracy and civic engagement, the impact of the Covid pandemic on Americas youth and education system, the staggering increase in violence impacting the AAPI community, and the importance of allyship and humanity.
