Join us for a free half-day convening for youth media organizations, educators, emerging artists, and community leaders to gather together in intergenerational solidarity. Together we'll experience some of the most exciting youth media work of the year, share compelling new projects and collaborations. Collaboratively, we'll map out tangible goals and values in town hall style roundtables and breakout sessions for an emerging 2018 National Youth Media Vision. 

On Friday, November 3, The Alliance for Media Arts + Culture in partnership with Chicago Youth Voices and Free Spirit Media will host the Youth Media Summit/Chicago – a free half-day convening for youth media organizations, educators, emerging artists, and community leaders to gather together in intergenerational solidarity. Together we'll experience some of the most exciting youth media work of the year, and share compelling new projects and collaborations. We'll use the insights gained to create tangible goals and values for an emerging 2018 National Youth Media.

For three participatory hours, the Gene Siskel Film Center will be filled with celebration and inquiry – we’ll share stories, experiences, new ideas, and desired futures.

Attendance at Youth Media Summit/Chicago is free of charge and includes lunch. As space is limited and we seek a diverse audience, we encourage small, intergenerational teams to attend. Please RSVP here. We look forward to gathering in Chicago! For questions, please contact Jason Wyman,Jason@thealliance.media.
