Hip Hop Tech Con 2026
Hip Hop Tech Con brings creators, founders, executives, technologists, investors, educators, and community leaders together in New York City for two days focused on the future of Hip-Hop, IP, AI, Web3, creator business, and ownership.
Where culture meets the business of what comes next.
Hip-Hop has always moved technology forward: recording, distribution, fashion, video, social media, brand strategy, live events, gaming, and community influence. Hip Hop Tech Con turns that cultural power into a serious conversation about education, ownership, capital, and new opportunities for creators and builders.
The 2026 program is designed as the live stage for the road that begins with HiphAthon. Expect keynotes, panels, learning labs, sponsor activations, creator conversations, startup demos, mentor sessions, and a HiphAthon finalist showcase.
