our beliefs on equity and inclusion
The Summit wholeheartedly embraces inclusivity, diversity, and accountability. As an organization centered around the elevation of storytelling, it is our responsibility and honor to highlight diverse voices from around the world.
Every unique voice adds value to the collective human story. The Summit is built around this belief. Although we seek to lift as many voices as possible, let it be known that The Summit does NOT tolerate hate in any form.
We are building an inclusive creative community that respects and celebrates differences through our programming, volunteer and hiring practices, productions, audience outreach, and partnerships.
