Get ready to pack your bags and embark on an exciting adventure as CultureCon 2024 transforms the Brooklyn Navy Yard into a creative campground on October 5-6, 2024. This year’s CultureCon Goes to Camp promises an immersive experience that combines the rustic charm of summer camp, with the innovative spirit of one of the most anticipated events for Black creative professionals, creators, and entrepreneurs.
The heart of this creative expedition will be the Duggal Greenhouse (Building 268) within the sprawling Brooklyn Navy Yard complex. This unique venue, with its industrial-chic aesthetic and waterfront views, provides the perfect backdrop for CultureCon’s mix of indoor and outdoor activities. As you navigate through the Navy Yard’s expansive grounds, you’ll feel the energy of a place that has evolved from a naval shipbuilding facility to a hub of innovation and creativity – mirroring the transformative journey many attendees will experience over the two-day event.
CultureCon 2024 is set to be a jam-packed weekend of “camp activities” designed to spark creativity, foster connections, and provide tangible skills for creatives at all stages of their careers. Expect inspiring talks and workshops that will serve as your “merit badges” in personal and professional growth. The event will feature a mix of seating and standing elements, with stage programming offering a chance to sit and absorb wisdom from industry leaders. Between sessions, you’ll have plenty of opportunities to explore “Activation Alley,” network with fellow “campers,” and participate in hands-on activities that promise to push you out of your comfort zone and into new realms of creative possibility.
As you plan your CultureCon adventure, remember that this camp experience goes beyond the usual conference fare. Food and drink (including a bar) will be available for purchase on-site, adding to the festive atmosphere. While you won’t be roasting marshmallows around a campfire, you’ll be igniting sparks of inspiration and forging connections that could last a lifetime. So, whether you’re a seasoned CultureCon attendee or a first-time “camper,” GET READY to immerse yourself in a weekend of growth, creativity, and community in the heart of Brooklyn’s creative renaissance.
