The Speaker
On March 19, EO San Francisco is proud to present an unforgettable evening with Amanda Knox: Exoneree, journalist, bestselling author, and global voice on resilience, justice, and reinvention.
Between 2007 and 2015, Amanda Knox spent nearly four years in an Italian prison and eight years on trial for a crime she did not commit. Her life was dismantled in the public eye and then rebuilt with extraordinary courage.
Today, Amanda is a New York Times best-selling author, host of the Hard Knox podcast, an internationally sought-after speaker, and a leading advocate for criminal justice reform and media ethics. She serves on the advisory council of the Frederick Douglass Project for Justice, is an Innocence Network Ambassador, sits on The Innocence Center Board, and is the recipient of the 2024 Innocence Network Impact Award.
