Georgia Entertainment has announced that the 2026 edition of the Creative Economy Journal will make its debut at the Georgia Entertainment Signature 100 on Dec. 11 at the brand new Trilith LIVE.
The exclusive, invitation-only gathering will convene the most influential entertainment industry leaders, including partners, directors, producers and key stakeholders who shape the policies and business landscape of Georgia’s thriving creative economy. Guests attending the signature evening will be the first to receive copies of the landmark publication.
This marks the second collaboration between Georgia Entertainment and the Savannah College of Art and Design’s SCADpro program to design the journal. SCADpro is the university’s collaborative innovation studio that generates business solutions for the world’s most influential brands. Building on the successful partnership for the 2025 issue, the upcoming edition will delve into the dynamic convergence of sports, entertainment and creativity, strategically aligned with Georgia’s role as host for the 2026 FIFA World Cup.
“Sports and entertainment have long gone hand in hand,” states Jezlan Moyet, president of Georgia Entertainment and co-publisher of the Creative Economy Journal. “As new technologies emerge, we are seeing that relationship go deeper and farther than ever before. It’s exciting to witness and to watch our friends and partners in Georgia as they lead the way in these converging industries.”
The 2026 issue will spotlight how evolving technologies such as AI-driven analytics, immersive fan experiences and innovative monetization strategies are revolutionizing content creation, audience engagement and revenue models.
“Last year our students were able to make a big impact with their innovative redesign of Georgia Entertainment’s Creative Economy Journal,” said Maken Payne, executive director of SCAD Partnerships. “After seeing their work travel the world this past year, we are thrilled to once again contribute to this invaluable production resource.”
Launched in 2023, the Creative Economy Journal is an annual printed publication that examines Georgia’s creative industries and their vital contribution to the state’s economy while highlighting opportunities for emerging creative professionals. The publication is circulated internationally at major cultural and industry events such as Cannes, Sundance, SXSW and other key gatherings throughout the year.
The signature evening is proudly presented by Trilith LIVE with Hanna Brothers along with strategic partners ICP, NEP Sweetwater, ShowRig, MBS and Lightscape.
“Holding the Signature 100 at Trilith LIVE captures the spirit of innovation and imagination that defines Georgia’s creative community,” said Moyet. “Trilith LIVE was built to inspire, a place where creativity, connection and possibility converge.”
This year’s Signature 100 will spotlight Trilith Institute as the beneficiary nonprofit organization of the evening. A centerpiece of the evening will be the presentation of Georgia’s Creative Champion of the Year award and Georgia’s Entertainment Entrepreneur of the Year award.
The networking extends beyond the main event. The following morning, select partners and VIP guests will reconnect for an exclusive breakfast gathering at Trilith Guesthouse.
