CAA Launching New Event To Bring Artists, Leaders Together Across Various Fields

CAA has launched Amplify, an invitation-only event bringing together artists and leaders from the fields of entertainment, sports, media, corporate brand marketing and tech. The event will kick off June 20 in Laguna Beach, Calif., and invited guests will include Warner Bros. Chair & CEO Kevin Tsujihara, ACLU Exec Dir Anthony Romero, actress Kerry Washington and director J.J. Abrams. CAA President Richard Lovett in a statement said, "We developed and executed programs to ensure a more diversified workplace, and launched a series of industry events to support and advance underrepresented voices in Hollywood. ... Amplify will convene influential and impactful multicultural leaders, who, together, will create opportunities to move our businesses forward.” CAA has put in place a number of programs to increase diversity and inclusion. The agency in '05 began recruiting at top-tier colleges and universities, HBCUs, colleges with high Latino populations and women’s colleges, resulting in a significant change to the pipeline of young staff hired by CAA, as well as those whose internships translate into jobs across the industry. Within the past five years, roughly 43% of the interns in CAA’s global internship program have been ethnically diverse and nearly 50% have been women.
