Challenge
REVOLT Summit Los Angeles was a three-day event of panels, networking, live music, and fire-side chats that brought together creatives and entrepreneurs from all corners of the nation. I was brought in by the REVOLT Digital team to cover the summit for the website and recap then weekend's highlights. I needed to research the schedule and featured guests the prior to the event in order to be current with all the movers and shakers in attendance.
Process
The REVOLT Summit app was a critical resource for planning my research. I had to budget my time wisely because there were multiple things happening simultaneously. I documented key insights and quotes during each session. Each night, I would compile my recorded notes in anticipation of my editor needing content in a short turn-around.
Outcome
Three days of concerts, panels, and interactive networking was a lot to capture. Our team of writers, producers, and editorial staff worked together for 10+ hours a day and by the last day of the summit, we had documented the daily events and a full recap. I wrote pieces that focused on the main panels and interviews including, A Sip with Issa Rae, Snoop and Top Dawg, Diddy's Interview of Vince Staples, and more. Getting full access to all of the powerful moments that REVOLT brought together in a multi-platform effort that weekend was life-changing and it led to further freelance writing with the digital team.
