DISRPT, the culturally led communications division of The Door - a division of Dolphin (NASDAQ:DLPN) - is leading communications for CultureCon 2026, the largest creative festival for creative entrepreneurs, creators, and cultural influencers. The engagement marks DISRPT's fifth consecutive year as CultureCon's agency of record and its second year leading the festival's communications from within The Door. Presented by Chase Ink, CultureCon returns to Brooklyn October 3-4, preceded by CultureCon Week, five days of exclusive dinners, screenings and community programming across New York City from September 28 through October 2.

The Door's DISRPT division leads CultureCon's full communications program, including media relations, announcement outreach for the festival's talent and programming reveals, red carpet management and on-site media coordination across the festival weekend. The work extends to CultureCon's brand partner ecosystem, supporting a slate of activations and stage programming that places the festival at the intersection of entertainment, business, sports, art and culture.

This year marks CultureCon's 10th year since founder Imani Ellis launched the gathering in 2016 from her Harlem apartment. The 2026 lineup brings together Michael B. Jordan, Mahershala Ali, Wale, Tobe Nwigwe, John Legend, Olandria Carthen, Niecy Nash-Betts, Miles Caton, Daniel Kaluuya, Danessa Myricks, Rajah Caruth, Scott Evans, Colin Kaepernick and Sherri Shepherd, among others. Chase Ink returns as presenting sponsor for the second consecutive year, joined by partners including Cricket Wireless, Lincoln, HBO Max, Audible, TikTok, Google, Pinterest, Prime Video, ESPN, Meta, Universal Music Group, GREY GOOSE, Coca-Cola and Camille Rose.

"CultureCon is one of the few platforms that holds real cultural authority and real scale at the same time, and that balance is what we've spent five years protecting," said Adriane Jefferson, Founder & Managing Partner of DISRPT at The Door. "The community that shows up to CultureCon is building what comes next across every creative industry, and the brands that show up alongside them understand that. Ten years in, our job is to tell that story with the same care Imani has put into building it."
