The first annual Urban Dialectic conference is a celebration in urban youth culture. This unique conference will seek to dispel urban stigmas through the evaluation of existing perceptions and generalizations present in today's society by way or urban culture celebration and interactive dialogue. The conference will provide the opportunity for the participation, communication, and convergence of young adults and their ideas, side by side with active leaders and participants within genres of expression such as hip-hop, house music, graffiti, and other expressive outlets.

We at the Apollo Project, invite all forms of socially active groups and organizations to participate in these events. The Urban Dialectic is an opportunity to combat repressive forms of media and pop-culture. Mainstream outlets continue to influence our youth and marginalize alternative forms of expression and media outlets.
