What to expect

Marketing is being rewritten—and creators are driving the rewrite. AI is accelerating it.

CreatorIQ Connect 2026 is where the leaders navigating that shift come together: one day in Los Angeles built around three distinct experiences, curated executive access, and the conversations that don't happen anywhere else. Whether you're setting strategy, sharpening execution, or building the relationships that move your business forward, Connect is where it happens.

Three experiences.

One essential day.

CreatorIQ Connect 2026 is built around three distinct stages, each designed for a different kind of conversation, and a different kind of value.

THE ENGINE

Where business strategy gets set.

Bold keynotes, executive-level panels, and forward-looking conversations on the strategic shifts reshaping marketing — from the rise of creator content as a true media channel to the AI infrastructure powering the next era of growth.

THE CRAFT

Where creativity meets real-world results.

Practitioner-led sessions, boundary-pushing creative case studies, and real-world playbooks from the teams and agencies driving the most innovative creator programs in the world. Leave with creative inspiration and frameworks you can apply immediately.

THE STUDIO

Where the people who make it happen connect.

A curated mix of live podcast recordings, invite-only executive roundtables, opportunities for brands and creators to build IRL connections, and industry-specific networking sessions. Intimate by design. The access, conversations, and connections you won't find anywhere else.

Why attend CreatorIQ Connect?

Attending CreatorIQ Connect means leaving with…

The strategy to lead, not follow

Creator marketing is moving from channel to core business function, fast. Connect gives you the frameworks, research, and executive-level perspective to stay ahead of the shift, not scrambling to catch up.

A room that actually delivers

Ask any past attendee what they remember most and they'll tell you it's the people. Connect is known for putting the right leaders in the same room—and creating the kind of conversations that don't happen at other events. Whether you're a practitioner, a program owner, or an executive making the call, you'll find your people here.

Intelligence you can action right away

Every session at Connect is built around real outcomes—ROI measurement, AI infrastructure, scaling programs without losing what makes them work. You won't leave with a notebook full of theory. You'll leave with a plan.

A first look at what's coming

Exclusive data from CreatorIQ's proprietary research, emerging platform trends, and a preview of the technologies reshaping creator marketing before they're mainstream. Connect is where you have a front-row seat, and where the industry gets a head start.
