General Sessions 

Keynote | Wednesday, May 10, 3:15 - 4:30 p.m. CT

Holler if You Hear Me! 
Join us for our keynote presentation with Henry Hicks, President and CEO of the National Museum of African American Music (NMAAM), to explore the origins and enduring impact of Hip Hop, the #1 musical genre in the world today. Fifty years ago, Hip Hop emerged as a powerful new art form and a cry to be heard from previously muted voices. This presentation will explore the vision, skill, tenacity, failures, resets, engagement, independence, collaboration and alliances that drove Hip Hop's success. Just as Hip Hop amplified the voices of marginalized communities and gave voice to important issues, we too can draw on its example to foster greater engagement and integration of patient voices while collaborating to strive for excellence in medication use quality.
