Live Nation Urban has partnered with Culture Creators Foundation to launch Lil' WeezyCon, an addition to the Lil' WeezyAna Fest in New Orleans. It all happens on November 2, 2024, at The Fillmore from 10 AM to 5 PM. Lil’ WeezyCon offers a unique platform for thought leaders, creators, artists, and young professionals to come together for a day of panels, networking, and community engagement.

In a collaborative effort to uplift the local community, Lil’ WeezyCon will actively engage college students, local community organizations, and high school seniors. This initiative aims to provide young people with valuable opportunities to connect with top industry professionals and learn about career paths in entertainment and entrepreneurship. Students from Dillard University will help produce the event, while volunteers from LSU, Xavier University, and other local schools will contribute their skills and support.

Tickets to Lil’ WeezyCon are free, making the event accessible to the general public. Additionally, college students with valid student IDs will receive VIP access, offering them exclusive opportunities to network with speakers and industry professionals throughout the day.

“We knew we wanted to do something special with this year’s festival, and tapping the Culture Creators Foundation to help us create Lil’ WeezyCon felt like the perfect way to engage the community and bring college students into the mix,” said Brandon Pankey, Vice President of Live Nation Urban. “This partnership allows us to expand beyond music and create an experience that leaves a lasting impact on young professionals and emerging creators.”
