Since the Tribeca Festival was launched, it has been known for being a harbinger of what is to come in the entertainment industry. Now, a 2026 Tribeca party has continued that tradition by bringing together a group of rising stars to discuss the future of entertainment, AI, and storytelling.
Who Attended the Tribeca ‘Emerging Icons’ Celebration
The recent “Emerging Icons at Tribeca” celebration that was thrown by Chronicle provided a fascinating view of how the entertainment world is changing. Its list of rising star attendees and the topics they discussed were both very telling about how creator and consumer relationships have quickly been altered.
As a Closer Weekly article about the event noted, it was attended by the rising comedian Delaney Rowe, who has 3.2 million TikTok followers, and the radio host Tinx, who has 1.5 million. Other guests included the interviewer Davis Burleson, fashion entrepreneur Jessica Wang, and a pair of celebrity chefs, Clinton Kelly and Michael Symon from Chewed Up. Karen David, from Fear the Walking Dead and Barry, was there with her Once Upon a Time co-star Raphael Sbarge, who is also known for Murder in the First and other shows.
That mix of young stars who are building their still-rising careers with established actors fits the theme of the gathering perfectly. As Closer Weekly’s article noted, those guests and more discussed the changing ways that people discover content and entertainers like them build their careers. In doing so, they showed that entertainers from across the content spectrum care about connecting with their audiences. They also spotlighted how new tools are giving content creators new avenues to find their audiences.
The “Emerging Icons at Tribeca” party was hosted by Chronicle, a company founded by Aaron Sisto, Scott Greenberg, and Ollie Lewis. It specializes in helping creators and brands connect with people. The AI startup’s CEO, Sisto, told Inc. about the hole the company has sought to fill. “Brands can’t find the consumer, creators can’t control their own growth, and studios are out of sync with what social audiences want.”
