Hip Hop Congress, Inc. –in collaboration with The International Strutters Room Master Camp, Hip Hop Education Center, Hip Hop Education & Equity (H2E2), California Academy of Sciences, New Community Leadership Foundation, Women’s Economic Agenda Project (WEAP), Heal the Hood South Africa, Hip Hop 4 the Pih Poh, Hip Hop For the Future, SPC, and more–will converge in San Francisco, CA to share culturally-based community strategies across nations and generations.

Converging Elements Organically (CEO) Conference is an international campaign to address the current state of the world through a lens of Hip Hop activism that encourages community-use of arts, music, and dance as educational tools to develop sustainable grassroots strategies for social advancement.

The ten days leading up to Juneteenth weekend in San Francisco will host a series of cultural exchanges with dynamic thought-leaders who are leveraging social awareness and technology to shift mass consciousness.  Community groups are invited to bring their organizational elements to build connections locally and co-educate on collective resourcing and social models for future sustainability.  

Each day of the HHC CEO Conference June 7-11th will feature elements of Hip Hop culture that are making significant strides in fields of education which include the Hip Hop Education & Equity (H2E2) Roundtable and interactive all-ages workshops on mental health, music, dance, graffiti art, collective organizing, and artist resources. Everyone who believes in the positive power of Hip Hop culture deserves to be here.

The HHC Conference will also overlap with The International Strutters Room Master Camp from June 10-16th. At this historical event attendees will get to learn about and experience the undocumented inner-city dance culture from The Day Before Hip Hop in Northern California, hosted by the Chekkitout University San Francisco Chapter of HHC, and Tart Productions International, LLC..  Sponsorship packages are available.  Donations welcome.
