GRINDCON 2026: A NEW ERA

Two days. Two experiences. One weekend built for creators, artists, and entrepreneurs ready for what’s next.

GrindCon returns to Boston for its 8th year, bringing together creators, artists, founders, industry leaders, and culture-shapers for our biggest evolution yet.

This year, GrindCon takes over Boston for a full weekend:

SATURDAY, OCTOBER 24

CREATOR CAMP

The Record Co. | 2 PM–10 PM

This isn’t a panel day.

Creator Camp is about creating, collaborating, and getting in the room.

Step inside an immersive day built for artists and creators to work, connect, learn, and create alongside other talent and industry professionals.

Expect:

Music creation and collaborative studio sessions
Writing and recording rooms
Producer cook ups
Industry access and conversations
A&R opportunities
Networking with artists, producers, creators, and creative professionals
Space to build real relationships — not just exchange Instagram handles

Come ready to work, meet people, create something, and leave with new connections.

SUNDAY, OCTOBER 25

THE GRINDCON CONFERENCE

ICA Boston | 1 PM–9 PM

This is where culture meets access, business, ownership, and opportunity.

Experience:

Powerful industry panels and conversations
A featured fireside conversation
Creator Office Hours with professionals across the industry
Networking and brand experiences
Creative wellness workshop
Live performances
Activations and interactive experiences
Opportunities to connect directly with creators, executives, founders, and industry professionals

WHO IS GRINDCON FOR?

If you’re a…

Creator building your platform.
Artist building your career.
Entrepreneur building a business.
Producer, filmmaker, photographer, designer, marketer, strategist, or creative professional looking for your next opportunity.

You belong in the room.

You don’t need millions of followers.

You don’t need to already have everything figured out.

You need the right information, the right community, and access to people who can help you move forward.

That’s what GrindCon is built around.

THIS ISN’T A CONFERENCE WHERE YOU SIT IN A CHAIR ALL WEEKEND.

It’s about access. Education. Community. Collaboration. Ownership. Opportunity.

It’s about meeting someone you didn’t know before.

Learning something that changes how you move.

Creating something that didn’t exist before you walked in.

And putting yourself in rooms that could change what happens next.

October 24–25, Boston.
