Century City Alumnae Chapter Of Delta Sigma Theta Sorority, Inc. Presents The 2026 Entertainment Career Summit At Emerson College Los Angeles

LOS ANGELES - EntSun -- As the entertainment industry continues to evolve toward more structured access points and expanded definitions of creative careers, new professional development models are emerging to bridge the gap between traditional pipelines and the modern creator economy. The 2026 Entertainment Career Summit, presented by the Century City Alumnae Chapter of Delta Sigma Theta Sorority, Inc., reflects this shift by bringing together working entertainment professionals and emerging talent for a full-day, access-driven experience focused on how careers are actually built across film, television, music, and digital media.

Founded and chaired by Shonelle Blake, the Summit will take place on Saturday, May 2, 2026, at Emerson College Los Angeles in Hollywood.

Attendees will participate in panels and workshops focused on content creation strategy, television production, podcasting, and the business and legal frameworks that govern how music is licensed, negotiated, and placed within film, television, and digital projects. The programming also introduces attendees to lesser-known and emerging entertainment career pathways, broadening visibility beyond traditional on-camera and creative roles into the operational and behind the scenes business infrastructure of the industry.
