50 Cent, Cam’ron, Joe Budden To Headline UnitedMasters’ SelectCon 2024 Conference

UnitedMasters has announced the return of SelectCon, an annual event that intersects the worlds of art, commerce, and entrepreneurship.

SelectCon 2024 is set to take place in Brooklyn, NY, on Oct. 24 and will be headlined by 50 Cent, Cam’ron, and Joe Budden, all three of whom have built successful empires in media and entertainment.

Founded by legendary music executive and businessman Steve Stoute, SelectCon’s theme for this year is “Entrepreneurship Beyond Music,” which Stoute says fits the core of what the event is all about.

“We created SelectCon to be more than just a conference. It’s a movement that’s reshaping how artists and entrepreneurs view themselves and their potential,” Stoute said in a statement.

“This year’s lineup embodies the evolution of creativity into real-world impact, and I’m excited to bring this conversation back to New York City.”

As part of the “Mogul Talk” series, 50 Cent, Cam’ron, and Joe Budden will discuss “brand building, investment strategies, and leveraging personal influence for long-term business success,” with Stoute leading the conversation.
