THE CREATIVE COALITION’S ANNUAL “DAVOS OF THE ARTS” SUMMIT RETURNS TO NEVADA
More than 50 Entertainment Industry Leaders Convene June 17–18 as Threats to the Creative Economy Demand a New Level of Collective Power
LOS ANGELES (June 15, 2026) – The Creative Coalition, the entertainment industry’s premier nonprofit educational charity, announced the full program for its 2nd Annual National Entertainment & Enterprise Leadership Summit, taking place June 17–18, 2026, at Red Rock Resort in Summerlin, Nevada.
The two-day working session known inside the industry as the “Davos of the Arts,” assembles a meticulously curated cohort of 50 senior leaders from film, television, streaming, music, finance, technology, AI, healthcare, Fortune 500 corporations, trade associations and public policy organizations for the kind of peer-level dialogue that does not happen at conventional conferences.
This year’s Summit convenes at a moment of profound consequence. Artificial intelligence is reshaping the boundaries of authorship and human creativity. Economic disruption, attacks on free expression, and growing uncertainty about the future of creative work are testing the institutions that have long sustained American culture. At the same time, renewed efforts to eliminate the National Endowment for the Arts through the proposed FY2027 House budget would reverberate through every community in the nation. For The Creative Coalition, gathering leaders across entertainment, enterprise, technology, and public policy is not merely timely—it is essential. In an era defined by disruption, protecting the arts is not simply a cultural imperative; it is a defense of human creativity, democratic values, and America’s enduring competitive advantage.
The Summit is deliberately structured as a peer-level working session where programming across both days includes high-level dialogues, storytelling and cultural leadership. The program connects a full cross-section of entertainment, media, government and corporate leaders in attendance. “The conversations that started here last year are still moving. Relationships that would have taken years to develop form in two days. That is not something you can replicate on a panel stage or a video call,” says Robin Bronk, CEO of The Creative Coalition.
For entertainment executives and celebrity members who have historically leveraged their profile for charity, the Summit represents the most concentrated expression of where influence meets infrastructure, and where the industry’s cultural credibility gets translated into tangible outcomes.
“For 35 years, The Creative Coalition has operated from a conviction that artists and the entertainment industry hold a kind of transformative power that no other sector can replicate. We move culture. We reach people in their living rooms and their theaters and their phones. What this Summit does is take that power seriously at the highest level,” says Tim Daly (Leanne, Madam Secretary, Wings), President, The Creative Coalition.
