Thank you for joining the
2026 BRIC Summit
On March 27 & 29, we brought together the most innovative leaders across entertainment, gaming, media, tech, education, advocacy, and government for the 8th Annual BRIC Summit. This year’s theme, Movements, set the tone for two days of candid conversation and collective action, empowering attendees to consider how individual choices and community momentum can create change despite an industry that is in flux.
Through a curated lineup of speakers, panel discussions, and collaborative workshops, we explored how creatives at every level can restore their sense of agency, become changemakers within their own spheres of influence, and continue making moves in uncertain times.
Our Summit Findings capture the takeaways and action plans that emerged from those BRIC Summit: Industry Think Tank discussions. We hope these solutions inspire you, your team, and the broader industry to Break, Reinvent, Impact, and Change the systems around us.
