Emerge is a community rooted in an annual gathering where inspired change makers are informed and entertained through programming that moves them closer to meaning or involvement.
Join us in Las Vegas, for two days of exploration through live music, passionate storytelling, progressive art, crafted parties and immersive experiences.
What is Emerge? Conceptually, Emerge is the intersection of social justice, art and music. In practice, Emerge is a community rooted in an annual gathering where inspired change makers are informed and entertained through programming that moves them closer to meaning or involvement. The constructive conversations that begin at Emerge then permeate, grow and evolve within the community the rest of the year.
What is the Emerge format? Two days of interdisciplinary exploration through live music, passionate storytelling, progressive art, crafted parties and immersive experiences.
What does the Emerge community value? Diversity and accessibility over prestige and affluence. Translating social awareness into social action. Celebrating human equality. Unconventional heroism. Youth involvement. Artistic energy. A shared vision for a better world.
What will define Emerge Las Vegas? The world is scary. Rather than regress to apathy or escapism, the focus of Emerge Las Vegas is resilience in a world with too much hatred, prejudice and ignorance. We will bring this focus to life in Las Vegas through both our primary showcases and additional experiences.
Never doubt that a small group of thoughtful, committed citizens can change the world; indeed, it’s the only thing that ever has.”
-Margaret Mead
Primary Showcases will feature musicians + speakers grouped into three core themes – PROTEST, BRAVE and SEX/SELF. There is no overlap in programming, so attendees need not pick and choose.
Crafted Collisions are additional experiences that encourage attendees to immerse more deeply during Emerge, participating in extension events wrapped around and within our primary showcases.
