Culture Capital WORKSHOP ZONES

The zones for the Culture Capital Conference were intentionally selected to reflect high-growth, underrepresented, and rapidly evolving industries that students rarely receive direct exposure to. Most events focus narrowly on one field, limiting the scope of opportunity and career imagination. Our approach challenges that by introducing participants to multiple sectors—from real estate and gaming to creative commerce and construction—offering hands-on engagement and real-world insight. In a shifting economy, it’s essential that students understand the full range of possibilities, especially in industries often overlooked in traditional career paths. This conference is designed to expand perspective, spark curiosity, and create access.
