‘Cuse Creator Con is the Center’s flagship annual event, convening top creators and leading thinkers from across the creator economy for two days of programming, panels, and networking. Scheduled for October 22–23, 2026 this year, the event brings the Center’s academic and industry sides together in one room — students, faculty, platforms, brands, creators, and partners all working the same two days of programming.
‘Cuse Creator Con is built to work for everyone in the room:
For the Center itself, it’s the year’s biggest platform for announcing new research, initiatives, and partnerships to the audience that matters most
For students, it’s direct, on-the-ground access to the platforms, brands, and creators they’re studying — a chance to network, learn, and in some cases produce content live from the event itself
For creators and industry leaders, it’s a stage: keynotes, panel appearances, and moderated conversations in front of an audience actively building this industry
For corporate and industry partners, it’s a flagship activation opportunity — onsite presence, panel or session sponsorship, and visibility alongside the Center’s full network of creators, industry leaders, and academic partners
