OUR 2026 THEME: MUSEUM OF US
OUR 2026 THEME: MUSEUM OF US
We've always been the art. The motion. The muse. The blueprint. The masterpiece.
Our stories and contributions deserve to be in frame and in focus—front and center for all the world to see.
CultureCon returns to Brooklyn this October, bringing you a curated room to refresh you with community and realign your focus with direction and clarity. The inspiration you're looking for isn't somewhere else, waiting to be found. It's in you now & it always has been.
The most important work of art are the people in the room. The art is you. It's Us.

2026 Schedule
COME WITH QUESTIONS. LEAVE WITH DIRECTION.
Creatives don’t come in one shape and neither does CultureCon.
Every kind of builder, maker and leader has a place here.
Which one are you?
EXPLORE THE CAMPUS
Culture Stage
Conversations and programming with the top creatives shaping culture. Pull up for the talks that move you, with the Merch Shop right beside it.
Creative Business Stage
A dedicated stage for the new generation turning creative work into real business, from first client to fully scaled. Whatever stage you're at, there's a session that'll meet you right where you are.
Career Lounge
Sit down with recruiters from the brands defining culture like HBO Max and Nike. Speed networking runs all weekend, so come ready to make the connection that lands the next thing.
Braindate
CultureCon heard you: more real connection, more intentional networking, more ways to find your people. This year, Braindate is coming to CultureCon to help you connect with the people you came here to meet.
Activation Alley
One-of-a-kind experiences and takeaways from brand partners like Pinterest and Chase Ink. Step into what they built for the weekend and leave with something you didn't walk in with.
Creative Playground
Get hands-on with interactive stations made for building, testing, and messing around. No agenda! Just space to play and see what comes out of it.
Food Truck Row
Refuel between sessions with a row of local food trucks, sourced from the city we represent. Eat well without leaving the action.
VIP Lounge
Your space to recharge and run into the right people, away from the crowd. VIP ticket holders only.
Small Business Market
Support is a verb we take seriously. Shop Black-owned brands and get to know the people behind them and the journeys that got them here.
