| Atlanta, GA (April 14, 2020) – For over 75 years, EBONY and JET Magazines have been on the frontlines of social and civil injustice. That mission is magnified especially due to the crippling paralysis of black people around the globe caused by the global pandemic.

In rapid response, EBONYCon, a global online conference will be held onApril 24-27, 2020. This virtual event will feature some of the most sought-after influencers, creatives, and experts to educate, empower and offer practical solutions to support entrepreneurs, leaders and organizations in successfully pivoting amid the pandemic.
