Unrig Summit comes in an exciting and fresh new format in 2020: Unrig Spotlight. 

Unrig Spotlight 2020 shines a bright light on the most vital and unmissable content for the 2020 cycle — powerful speakers, inspiring leaders, world class entertainment and more. Unrig Spotlight is a more focused program in a more intimate setting, featuring an all-day lineup on one main stage and a select few highly-curated experiences to help you connect and collaborate — and of course, Unrigged Live! An evening of world-class entertainment to celebrate our movement like never before.

Together we’ll spotlight our movement’s most innovative ideas, most promising campaigns, and most inspiring speakers as we gear up for 2020. You won’t want to miss a moment, and the streamlined program means you won’t have to. It’s all situated in a gorgeous, state-of-the-art performance hall in sunny Miami Beach, FL.

Unrig Summit is the premier right-left summit to solve America’s political crisis. It’s the brightest minds from the right and left working together to unrig our broken system.

With over one hundred inspiring speakers and trainers, current and former Members of Congress, world-class live entertainment, and attendees from all 50 states, Unrig Summit is a one-of-a-kind opportunity to connect directly with the most engaged and invested members of the democracy reform movement.

Whether you’re looking to build your skills as an activist, learn more about specific policy solutions, or to connect with others from across the United States who are ready and working to unrig the system, Unrig has something for everyone looking to get involved and fight for change.

Right now, corruption is legal in America. Lobbyists write our laws, big money controls our elections, and politicians are incentivized to care more about the people lining their pockets than those who elected them. At Unrig, organizers, activists, politicians, and everyday people from across the political spectrum gather to connect with peers, build their skills, and learn the issues… so we can win.

Since the inaugural Unrig Summit in 2018, participants have gone on to lead the largest wave of democracy reform victories in American history, including spearheading anti-gerrymandering initiatives in four states (MI, UT, CO, MO), winning ethics, transparency, and campaign finance reforms in cities and states across the country, and restoring the vote to 1.4 million citizens in Florida.

Unrigged Live! is the premier event of the Unrig experience – a high-production evening of live music, celebrity entertainment, stand-up comedy, and inspiring speakers to celebrate our movement’s victories and energize us for the future.

Previous presenters and speakers include: Jennifer Lawrence, Ed Helms, UN Deputy High Commissioner for Human Rights Kate Gilmore, Emma González of March for Our Lives, Professor and former White House Ethics Lawyer Richard Painter, Florida voting rights advocate Desmond Meade, NASA astronaut Ron Garan, Former State Senator and Our Revolution President Nina Turner, comedians Sasheer Zamata, Tig Notaro, Nikki Glaser, and Adam Yenser, and musical guests Taylor Goldsmith, Katie Pruitt, Courtney Marie Andrews, The New Respects, HoneyHoney, and the legendary Preservation All Stars.

During the program, we also present The Courage Awards, recognizing the individuals who put it all on the line to fight for democracy. Check out the full 2018 and 2019 shows to get a taste of what’s in store for Miami.

#UnrigtheSystem & #UnrigSpotlight

Miami is a vibrant global city at the center of some of today’s most critical conversations in American politics, from voting rights to immigration to climate change. Miami’s multicultural population increasingly reflects the face of the nation, with significant ideological, cultural, and political diversity. Located in the key battleground state of Florida, Miami is a focal point of the 2020 election cycle.

Miami is unique not just as a political and cultural hotspot, but as a sunshine-filled tropical destination surrounded by natural beauty. Miami is easily accessible from around the country with one of the largest international airports in the United States. The city has tons of hotels at a variety of price points and has a comprehensive modern transit system for visitors to get around the region.

Unrig Spotlight 2020 will take place in the South Beach area of Miami Beach at New World Center, a beautiful, modern venue just blocks from the beach. The Frank Gehry-designed state-of-the-art building is home to New World Symphony, a musical laboratory and training ensemble for some of the best young classical musicians in the world.

Programming begins Friday, May 15th as early as 1 pm and ends at 2 pm Sunday, May 17th. Key programming is planned for Friday, Saturday, and Sunday, so please plan to attend all three days!

Unrig Spotlight will be held at the New World Center in Miami Beach, Florida: a Frank Gehry-designed facility featuring a variety of flexible spaces, cutting edge production technology, abundant natural light, and views of the Miami Beach Art Deco skyline. Unrigged Live! and mainstage programming will take place in the New World Center’s performance hall: a multimedia enabled and highly configurable space which has attracted international recognition for its acoustics and technical capabilities.

Our venue, the New World Center, is proud to strictly comply with all American with Disabilities Act (ADA) regulations. For more information, refer to the NWC’s accessibility information available here.
