CultureCon 2026 returns October 3–4 at the Duggal Greenhouse in the Brooklyn Navy Yard.
This year’s theme is “Museum of Us.” The weekend is built for creators, founders, and cultural leaders, with programming across entertainment, business, and the creative industries.
Michael B. Jordan, Mahershala Ali, John Legend, Daniel Kaluuya, Colin Kaepernick, Niecy Nash-Betts, and Sherri Shepherd are on the bill. So is Tobe Nwigwe, whose work already moves between music, faith, and mainstream culture.
The draw is not only the names. CultureCon also runs a Creative Business Stage, founder sessions, a career lounge, and a Small Business Market for Black-owned brands.
That mix is the point. Culture on display is easy. A room of people still building it is the story.
