In line with our Connoisseurs of Culture brand, we hosted For The Love of The Culture Summit, an invite-only event with thought leaders across music, art, & entertainment, who dropped gems and shared insight into how brands can create impactful partnerships through live music that build meaningful connections with Black audiences – guided by intentionality, authenticity, and respect for Black culture.
