2026 Creative Entrepreneurship Summit

Join us September 15–16 at the Ray Charles Performing Arts Center on the campus of Morehouse College for two days built for songwriters, artists, producers, managers, and creative entrepreneurs ready to take ownership of their careers. The Summit brings together leading voices in music publishing, sync licensing, artist management, entertainment law, and artist development for panel discussions, networking, and real conversations about how the industry actually works. Hear from keynote speaker Troy Taylor, Grammy and Dove Award winning producer, alongside panels covering everything from when you need a manager to protecting your publishing catalog to navigating AI and independent growth. Attendees will also have the opportunity to submit their music for one of four scheduled Listening Sessions, where industry panelists provide direct feedback, and to connect with the community at the official summit mixer hosted BMI ATL featuring live performances including Buddy Red, Eli Derby & Ajia. Whether you're just starting out or building on years in the industry, this Summit is designed to give you the tools, connections, and insight to move your career forward with intention. Register today and be part of the conversation.
