Are you a Black college student or recent grad? Do you identify as a creator?

We're launching the second iteration of our YARD CON digital conference and this time we're focusing on getting you the tools/opportunities you need to make your creations come to life and get your career started while stuck in our messed-up quarantined digital world. 

It's pretty straight forward. We reached out to the largest and most innovative tech companies to get you direct, no-nonsense and practical advice from experts at their companies on how to do everything from building websites, graphic design, making your music go viral and growing your brand on social media. We're also doing sessions on campus leadership + leading movements.
