Charlotte Latin School announced today that the speaker at its 2026 Commencement Exercises will be Nikki Sanz ’14. Sanz is the founder of Giggs, a jobs website for people working in the live music industry.

“When you're a student at Latin, you do not realize how much they're preparing you for college and then for the real world,” she said. “Latin sets you up for success — when you leave, you know even more than you think you do.”

Sanz was recently featured in the spring issue of Latin, discussing how she entered the concert industry and what she’s learned from it.

Commencement Exercises will take place at the Beck Student Activities Center on the Charlotte Latin campus on Friday, May 22, at 9:30 a.m. Tickets are available for family members of the graduating class of 2026; in addition, the ceremony will be livestreamed for remote viewing.
