On August 29 2025, Mayor Muriel Bowser and the award-winning DC Office of Cable Television, Film, Music, and Entertainment (OCTFME) officially kicked off 202Creates Month at Planet Word Museum with the inaugural 202Creates Con—a one-day experience focused on creative power, economic impact, and entertainment in the nation’s capital.

Thank you to all the sponsors, creatives, innovators and entrepreneurs who came out to support and elevate DC’s creative economy and make this important inaugural event a success.
