For 15 years, the A3C festival in Atlanta has brought together artists, innovators, and entrepreneurs for a one of a kind music, tech, film & culture festival, and conference. As one of the most important events of the year, the week-long event is intended to inspire and empower the next generation. The A3C was acquired by The Gathering Spot and Paul Judge Media Group. Dr. Judge released a statement saying, “Ever since I’ve known Chainz, his creativity, team, and entrepreneurship skills have repeatedly proven to be world-class. Together we’ll open new doors in the intersection of technology and culture.” Ryan Wilson, CEO of The Gathering Spot said, “Together we’ll leverage this power to bring a fresh, exciting and culturally appealing offering to our great city and its visitors for years to come.” With Chainz purchasing a stake in the festival, he is now part of the ownership group and will serve as a creative curator and business advisor. Chainz made an announcement stating, “I’ve moved from artist to being inside the owner’s box. I’m excited to be co-owner and to help shape A3C over the next decade to be the biggest festival on the planet–the festival for the future”.
This year’s A3C takes place on October 8-13 and features over 300 speakers, 150 sessions, 500 music artists, and 50 different events. Speakers will include, Gary Vee, T.I., Bozoma Saint John, Mike Will Made-It and Charlamagne Tha God as well as music performances from Megan Thee Stallion, Lil Keed, Lil Gotit, Mr. Eazi, Pink Sweat$, Just Blaze, Skooly, Yasiin Bey, Rakim, Big Daddy Kane, E-40 and YG with 2 Chainz providing the closing keynote alongside Dapper Dan in a fireside discussion.
