The Creative Collective NYC’s CultureCon, Presented by HBO Max, Goes on Tour to Atlanta, Los Angeles, and New York City in 2022

I seldom weigh in on the Happenings we post here at Hype, just so we don’t appear to co-sign a movement, but I’m not staying out of this one…this is one of THE most important movements going on for the culture right now…showcasing and bringing together the most talented and often ignored or marginalized creatives, knowers, thinkers and doers on the planet; and I’m personally pleased the team behind CultureCon has had the intestinal fortitude to navigate the maze. ~ JD

The Creative Collective NYC, a community dedicated to creatives of color and the architects of CultureCon, is taking their wildly-popular conference on tour after a two-year hiatus. CultureCon is the fastest-growing conference for creatives, influencers, and young professionals of color, and will activate in Atlanta, Los Angeles, and New York City throughout 2022. CultureCon is presented by HBO Max. Major partners include LinkedIn, Instagram, Wieden and Kennedy, Twitter, Audible, Foot Locker, and Pinterest. For tickets, visit: www.theccnyc.com/culturecon

CultureCon is on a mission to create brave spaces where diverse creatives can be seen, and provide resources that lead to economic freedom, creative liberty, and unprecedented access. Following the success of CultureCon At Home – an interactive digital campus that reached creatives in over 131 countries around the world – CultureCon 2022 will be a hybrid event that includes both in-person activations and free digital offerings for those who cannot attend in person.

“We’re proud to engage with our community in meaningful and impactful ways, including being the presenting sponsor of this year’s CultureCon,” said Jackie Gagne, SVP Multicultural Marketing at HBO MAX and HBO. “HBO Max shares CultureCon’s mission in providing platforms that shine a spotlight on creatives of color. We’re excited for these talented young professionals to experience the camaraderie and inspiration that CultureCon offers each year.”

CultureCon is engaging more creatives of color than ever before. Traveling to multiple cities with inspiring programming, workshops, and soon-to-be-announced celebrity appearances, plus free student tickets while supplies last.
