The Information's 2024 Creator Economy Summit: A New Era. April 2, 2024. Los Angeles

The Information’s Creator Economy Summit will feature creators and the industry professionals that are leading the convergence in tech, entertainment and culture.

And social networks are figuring out how to capitalize on the artificial intelligence breakthroughs that pose opportunity as well as risk for content creators.

Topics to include:

  • A New Frontier for Startups
  • Sports & The Creator Economy
  • Embracing AI
  • A Golden Age for Influencer Marketing
  • Commerce & Creator-Led Brands
  • Investing Lessons Learned

As the creator economy refashions itself again, Kaya Yurieff and other reporters from The Information will dive deep into the topics that will set the agenda in 2024. The Summit will feature exclusive fireside chats, topical breakout sessions and lively panel discussions. Attendees will mingle and learn from the most followed influencers, entrepreneurs and technology leaders, with plenty of time for live Q&A and networking.

If you love digital content, you’re not alone. Like, really not alone. There are literally millions of people creating content, promoting digital culture, and thinking about the future of the digital media industry. VidCon is about to connect all of them!

  • COMMUNITY TRACK. VidCon’s Community Track is for fans of digital content, the creators, and the culture. 
  • CREATOR TRACK. VidCon’s Creator Track brings together a constellation of industry forces: creator-to-creator, creator-to-fan, fan-to-fan, and more. It’s the spot for aspiring creators looking to learn more about how to build their brand online.
  • INDUSTRY TRACK. VidCon’s Industry Track is the one place in the world where digital creators, fans, and the digital media industry converge in real time to chart the future of digital content.

VidSummit. September 3-5, 2024. Dallas, Texas

VidSummit is for Video Creators and Influencers, Marketers, Agencies and Brands involved in the Content Creation Process.

VidSummit is not a place where influencers connect with their fans. Instead, VidSummit is where you become an industry insider. Without the fans at the event, influencers share the truth of what they do - the truth they would never share online. In other words, VidSummit is the only event where dozens of the top 1% of influencers show you how to get fans fast, build a brand, and make millions from your content.
