Howard University Sports & Entertainment Symposium. Where Star Power Meets Opportunity!

 

Hosted by the Warner Music/Blavatnik Center for Music Business at Howard University School of Business, the Sports & Entertainment Symposium is a dynamic, full-day experience designed to bridge the gap between classroom education and real-world industry opportunities.

 

Taking place on Thursday, September 24, 2026, the symposium will bring together leading executives, influential artists, sports professionals, entrepreneurs, and industry innovators for engaging panel discussions, keynote presentations, fireside chats, and interactive networking experiences. Featuring industry leaders from the NBA, Wasserman, HBCU GO, and the music and entertainment industries, including Grammy Award-winning artist Lucky Daye, the symposium will provide students with invaluable insights into career pathways, branding, marketing, entrepreneurship, technology, artificial intelligence, and the evolving business of sports and entertainment.

Our mission is simple: Access Matters. Through meaningful conversations, mentorship, and direct engagement with industry professionals, we aim to equip the next generation of leaders with the knowledge, relationships, and opportunities needed to succeed in today's competitive global marketplace.
