CultureCon 2026 to feature Michael B. Jordan in Brooklyn

CultureCon 2026 is set to take place in Brooklyn, featuring a high-profile lineup of entertainers, athletes, and cultural leaders. The festival, scheduled for October 3-4, will include Michael B. Jordan, who joins other notable figures such as Mahershala Ali, Aaron Pierre, John Legend, and Colin Kaepernick.

Founded by Imani Ellis, the event operates under the 2026 theme “Museum of Us.” Rather than a traditional celebrity convention, the festival focuses on empowering creatives and entrepreneurs through networking and professional development. Programming includes a Creative Business Stage, a Founder Summit, a Creator Summit, and a Small Business Marketplace.

CultureCon Week will begin on September 28 and run through October 2, encompassing various community events, dinners, and screenings throughout New York City leading up to the main festival.
