CultureCon is back, and this year it’s bigger, bolder, and unapologetically about taking space.
Known as the largest creative festival for entrepreneurs, creators, and cultural influencers, CultureCon sits at the intersection of creativity and community, offering workshops, resources, and tools designed to help attendees take their dreams to the next level, on their own terms.
October 4-5, more than 10,000 creatives and over 200 speakers will gather for two days of community-building, hands-on workshops, a career fair, and immersive activations.
Historically, Black creatives have had to fight just to be seen, even as industries from fashion to entertainment have thrived on their influence. CultureCon 2025 pushes that truth forward with its boldest theme yet: The New Frontier.
This year’s tagline, “We made space. Now we’re claiming it,” challenges attendees to imagine a future where Black creativity isn’t just invited to the table, it’s the blueprint.
As the CultureCon team describes it, this new frontier is a dimension where every industry, platform, and opportunity is reshaped with Black creativity at the center.
The bar is being raised sky-high with a lineup of guest speakers set to inspire and empower. Already confirmed are powerhouse names like Taraji P. Henson, Michael Ealy, and Jennifer Hudson, each bringing their own perspective on creativity, culture, and community. And this is just the beginning; more speakers will be announced in the weeks leading up to the event, promising a roster that will truly take us “out of this world.”
From its beginnings, CultureCon has been about breaking barriers, rewriting narratives, and building community. Attendees walk away not only inspired but also equipped with practical resources—career connections, new collaborations, and insight from leaders who are rewriting the rules across tech, business, entertainment, and beyond.
And here’s the best part: we’re giving away tickets so you can join the experience. This is your chance to step into rooms filled with innovators, visionaries, and culture-shapers, and to build alongside a community that’s actively defining what the future looks like.
