The Tribeca Festival, presented by OKX, announced its 2026 lineup of Talks, Reunions, and Retrospectives, a series of one-night-only events spanning film, music, and culture. Tribeca’s 25th anniversary edition runs June 3–14 in New York City.
“Tribeca was founded on the belief that storytelling brings people together and moves culture and our society forward. For 25 years, those ideas have shaped everything we do,” said Tribeca Festival Co-Founder and Co-Chair Jane Rosenthal.
“This milestone Festival honors the artists who have defined our cultural landscape, including Bruce Springsteen’s enduring legacy, while revisiting films that continue to resonate across generations, like Taxi Driver.
At the same time, we are proudly championing new voices and creating space for the next generation of storytellers. This balance between legacy and discovery is what keeps Tribeca vital, relevant, and looking ahead.”
Bruce Springsteen received the 2026 Harry Belafonte Voices for Social Justice Award, an honor established by the late Paula Weinstein—Tribeca’s former Chief Content Officer, acclaimed producer, and lifelong activist.
Named for Harry Belafonte, the legendary singer, actor, and civil rights leader who fused artistry with activism, the award recognizes artists who don’t just speak out, but actively use their platform to advance equality, dignity, and human rights.
“There are few figures who embody the spirit of Tribeca’s Harry Belafonte Award more fully than Bruce Springsteen,” said Rosenthal.
The evening bought together an extraordinary circle of artists and activists highlighted by a conversation between Springsteen and his longtime friend and fellow activist Bono.
Robert De Niro and Patti Smith also join to pay tribute to a legacy defined not just by artistry, but by action.
The Festival also announced additional world premieres as part of the feature film lineup, including Katy Perry: The Lifetimes Tour – Live from Paris, followed by a conversation with Katy Perry, and Tony Kaye’s Humpty Dumpty X, chronicling the director’s creative journey in the wake of directing American History X in 1998.

Tribeca X also unveiled its 2026 speaker lineup and official selections for the annual Tribeca X Awards.
“Tribeca X was built to celebrate the creators reshaping modern storytelling,” said Rebecca Glashow, CEO of Tribeca Enterprises.
“Today’s cultural landscape is being defined by artists and entrepreneurs who push creative boundaries across mediums and industries. A$AP Rocky represents the kind of genre-defying visionary the inaugural Tribeca X Filmmaker of the Year Award was created to honor.”
Took place on June 8–9 at Spring Studios during the 25th annual Tribeca Festival, Tribeca X convenes influential voices across entertainment, advertising, media, technology, and the creator economy for two days of conversations, screenings, networking, and industry programming.
The ceremony also featured the presentation of Tribeca X’s inaugural Director of the Year Award to A$AP Rocky, presented by Tribeca Co-Founder Jane Rosenthal in recognition of his creative vision and contributions to storytelling across film, music, fashion, and culture.
While accepting the honor, Rocky shared, “There are people who come and really do some cool shit, and I just want to be a pioneer and advocate for folks.” The evening served as a fitting finale to two days of conversations that underscored the power of storytelling to drive culture, business, and meaningful audience engagement.

Getgeeked New York Event at Brooklyn Expo Center
Think about the challenges your brand is facing today. Any savvy marketing or PR professional will tell you that they’ve changed a great deal in just the last few years.
Securing press coverage is still critical to your success, perhaps even more so now that consumers are avoiding or simply tuning out most advertising.
But to succeed today, brands must also find ways to meaningfully engage elusive, and increasingly influential, consumers. The reviews, recommendations, and opinions they’re sharing are more trusted than any other type of marketing communication and they’re more far-reaching than ever before.
Turning these enthusiasts into word-of-mouth advocates is one sure way to get ahead of your competition.
Brands today also must tell their own story by creating and publishing their own compelling content across the social web. In today’s world, we’re all publishers. That means finding and leveraging opportunities to create content that will resonate with your target consumers.
What hasn’t changed are outdated, overpriced tech industry press events. They’re still charging you thousands of dollars and doing nothing to help you meet these new challenges.
We created getgeeked to help brands meet all the difficult marketing and PR challenges they’re confronting today at one affordable event.
For less than the cost of a typical press-only event, at getgeeked you’ll meet with all the same press you’re used to seeing at those events plus over a thousand influential consumers. Our press attendees represent the leading tech blogs, journalists focused on emerging tech categories like wearables and robotics, local print and broadcast outlets, as well as journalists covering lifestyle, health, education, and other areas where technology is having more and more of an impact.
Getgeeked consumer attendees represent the savvy, influential tech enthusiasts that brands need to engage with. They’re early adopters of new technology and usually the “go to” person in their peer group for advice on what tech products to purchase. In short, they are the ones who have significant impact on which new products succeed and which don’t. They are also some of the hardest consumers to reach. But they show up at getgeeked, eager and enthusiastic to meet with you. That’s what makes getgeeked unique, fresh and important for you to attend.
World Liberty TV, Tech Team was on hand to cover the Get Geek Event at Their new Location at the Brooklyn Expo Center, See the many vendors showcasing there Tech Gadgets and more right here in our World Liberty TV, Technology Channel.

National Supermarket Associations, International Trade Show
“Two Day’s” NSA INTERNATIONAL SALES & TRADE SHOW 2023. The NSA International Sales & Trade Show organized by the National Supermarket Association, the event attracts companies seeking to showcase and sell their products and services to buyers from the independent supermarket sector.
The event offers a unique opportunity to interact with supermarket owners and managers.
NSA welcomes all vendors, brokers, manufacturers, suppliers, service providers, food managers, supermarket owners, importers, merchandisers, advertising agencies, distributors, and trade association officials.
The trade show is not open to the general public, only to companies and individuals affiliated to the food industry.
Those companies seeking to establish or improve their relationship with 600+ independent supermarkets in the East Coast. The NSA Sales and Trade Show will focus on current and new international, national, regional, and local companies looking to serve the independent supermarket industry.
Founded in 1989 by Hispanic entrepreneurs, the NSA is a trade association that represents the interest of independent supermarket owners in New York and other urban cities throughout the East coast, Mid-Atlantic region and Florida.
Beginning in the mid-seventies, these entrepreneurs had the courage of opening supermarkets in areas abandoned by the large chains, as they were economically depressed and mostly minority neighborhoods.
These men and women had the vision and the commitment to fill a vacuum in those communities, at a time when the term “food desert” had not even been coined. Currently, many NSA members continue to serve those areas by offering healthy foods and full service supermarkets.
The association has grown dramatically in the last two decades and currently provides its members hands on representation in both the private and public sectors and advocates issues that impact the entire supermarket industry.
Current membership represents approximately 600 supermarkets. Most members are of Hispanic descent, and their stores are predominantly located in minority neighborhoods.
The NSA provides outreach services to corporations that want to capture the booming Hispanic market by providing counseling on marketing strategies to reach Hispanic retailers and consumers, including market and cultural intelligence.
The National Supermarket Association Scholarship Foundation has established a scholarship program to assist those students within the local communities in which our member stores are located. Through education we are Empowering our communities for a brighter future.
The program is administered by Scholarship America®, the nation’s largest designer and manager of scholarship, tuition assistance, and other education support programs for corporations, foundations, associations, and individuals.
Eligibility for individual programs is determined at the sole discretion of the sponsor, and eligible applications are reviewed by Scholarship America’s evaluation team.
Awards for this scholarship are granted to eligible recipients without regard to creed, religion, sexual orientation, age, disability, or national origin.
The NSA organization created a Legislative Committee that advocates and lobbies for its members while also reporting back with all events, bills, laws, and news that affects the members and their business.
The NSA Legislative Committee works hard on solving issues in our communities we serve while also making sure that the members are not affected in a way that would be detrimental to their business operations, growth, and existence
NSA Cares is our initiative designed to partnering with charitable organizations in the different communities served by our members.
As established by our founders, the National Supermarket Association (NSA) has a longstanding tradition of giving back to the community.
Through the promise of NSA Cares, each year, we will reaffirm our commitment to strengthening our corporate social responsibility with the many communities served by our members.
It was a well-attended event, vendors in attendance throughout the USA, South American, North American and Central American companies in attendance. Thousands of people in attendance doing business and to sell their products to the Latin Communities.
Some of the big Company’s included; Porky’s, Goya foods, Coco Cola, PepsiCo and many more.
