How this guide works

How events are selected

Events must explicitly cover the creator economy in their verified title or programme and be assigned the Creator Economy category. Gaming-only listings remain in the gaming guide unless they also meet this criterion.

Before you register

  • Prepare one concrete question about distribution, retention, payments or monetization.
  • Distinguish technology partners from buyers, investors and creators.
  • For broader publisher and studio networking, also explore the gaming guide.
