Imagine being immersed in an environment where Australia's most successful digital creators openly reveal the strategies behind their viral internet content. This opportunity is not just a fantasy—it's the reality of the Creator Summit, powered by Fujifilm, which is making a highly anticipated return in 2026.
A Premier Gathering for Digital Storytellers
Following its completely sold-out debut in Sydney last year, the Creator Summit is set to captivate audiences at The Timber Yard in Melbourne on the 9th of May. This event assembles an exceptional lineup of Australia's finest creators, storytellers, and influential industry voices for an intensive day filled with enlightening talks, interactive workshops, and hands-on experiential learning.
Headliners Share Community-Building Secrets
The event will be headlined by Toni Lodge and Ryan Jon from the wildly popular Toni and Ryan podcast. They have cultivated a massive and dedicated following through their podcast's success. During a keynote presentation, the duo will impart invaluable advice and golden nuggets of wisdom for aspiring content creators aiming to elevate their work to new heights and build a robust community around their content.
Diverse Program with Over 20 Sessions
The Creator Summit 2026 boasts a comprehensive program featuring more than twenty distinct talks, panel discussions, and workshops, ensuring there is relevant content for every attendee. Shaun Mah, General Manager of Fujifilm, emphasised the summit's core mission.
"Whether it's developing a signature photography style, honing your visual artistry, or mastering the algorithm to turn culture into a viral moment, Creator Summit is about celebrating visual storytelling in all its forms," Mah stated. "It's an event created by creators for creators, so we're excited to see the inspiration, collaboration, and learning that will take centre stage."
Exclusive Insights and Valuable Perks
Attendees will gain exclusive insights into future trends from Jace Molan of Pinterest, who will analyse the visual trends shaping 2026. Pinterest is renowned for helping creatives stay ahead of the curve by identifying what is trending and, crucially, predicting what will trend next. For those wanting to lead rather than follow, this session is essential.
Furthermore, the summit offers significant value with early bird ticket pricing currently available at a 27 per cent discount, bringing tickets to just $45. Each ticket holder will also receive a premium goody bag valued at over $250.
