"We created the A3C Festival & Conference out of necessity. There was no place for the Hip-Hop community across the world to get together. We wanted to give artists, creatives and entrepreneurs a platform and place to learn, create, share and network. That's what A3C Festival & Conference is about." - Mike Walbert (A3C Executive Director)
