A WEEK OF IDEAS AND CONNECTIONS
The week will unfold as follows, with each day centered on a unique theme.
Hear from and be inspired by major icons during interviews with a diverse range of speakers who are making world-changing impact; check out the on-demand content; join workshops (known as Discovery Sessions) to learn about something new or dive deep into a topic you already love; take part in the live Q&A; and join the community chat (based on pass type — see pass details below for more details).
What’s a Rich Text element?
The rich text element allows you to create and format headings, paragraphs, blockquotes, images, and video all in one place instead of having to add and format them individually. Just double-click and easily create content.
Static and dynamic content editing
A rich text element can be used with static or dynamic content. For static content, just drop it into any page and begin editing. For dynamic content, add a rich text field to any collection and then connect a rich text element to that field in the settings panel. Voila!
How to customize formatting for each rich text
Headings, paragraphs, blockquotes, figures, images, and figure captions can all be styled after a class is added to the rich text element using the "When inside of" nested selector system.
Kaila Mullady is a 2x World Beatbox Champion (2015 & 2018), 2014 American Vice Beatbox Champion, 3x Loop Station Champion, and 3x reigning Beatrhyme Champion. Known for fusing beatboxing, singing, rapping, and theater, she constantly pushes the limits of what the human voice can do.
Her groundbreaking artistry reached new heights when beatboxing hit one of America’s biggest theatrical stages—Broadway. As a cast member in Lin-Manuel Miranda’s Tony Award–winning improv comedy show Freestyle Love Supreme, Kaila brought vocal percussion to a new audience, showing that beatboxing belongs alongside the highest levels of theatrical performance.
Beyond the stage, one of the most fulfilling aspects of Kaila’s career has been sharing her craft through education. She has traveled the world leading workshops that promote self-expression, communication, and leadership through music. Her work using beatboxing as a tool for speech therapy led to a partnership with New York University, where she helped design a first-of-its-kind class for blind students based on her curriculum. Through her arts education organization, The Academy of Noise, she continues to merge artistry with education, empowering voices of all ages and abilities.
Kaila is especially proud of her role in ensuring that the American Beatbox Championships remain a space that supports and uplifts young women in a traditionally male-dominated art form.
From school assemblies in the U.S. to stages and classrooms across more than 30 countries—including Jordan, Liberia, Mexico, Belgium, and Sri Lanka—Kaila has used her voice to connect people across cultures. Whether performing for thousands, working with at-risk youth, or collaborating with international artists, she champions the belief that every voice has the power to inspire change, spark creativity, and unite communities around the world.
Continue to follow along with her journey @kailamullady.
