Where will this event be held?
The event will be held at the Sheraton Vancouver Airport Hotel. Full details — maps, transportation tips, and local recommendations — will be sent to ticket holders and shared in our private Circle community. For its guests, the hotel offers a free shuttle from YVR, a 24-hr gym, and a heated pool.
How long is the event and what’s the schedule like?
It’s a 3-day event starting Friday, June 5 at 1:00PM and ending Sunday, June 7 at 4:30PM.
We’ll also have community virtual meetups before and after the weekend to keep momentum strong. A full schedule will be released closer to the date. Plan for inspiring days punctuated by short breaks for rest and conversation.
The after-party will be held on Sunday night at 8:00PM at a private venue.
Is The Creator Economy Convention an in-person or a virtual event?
This is primarily an in-person gathering — because real chemistry can’t be downloaded. For those who can’t travel, we plan to offer a livestream of main-stage talks. More details about livestream tickets will be released in 2026. Recordings will be available to all ticket-holders after the event.
Are tickets to the Sunday after-party included?
After-party tickets are sold separately (but are included with VIP tickets). Announcements will be posted in the Circle community for ticket-holders with details on location and capacity. It’s our closing celebration — where new friendships become lasting collaborations.
Are there nearby hotels?
Yes! We’ve arranged special group rates at the Sheraton (the host hotel) and the Marriott right next door, so you can stay close to the action and connect outside of sessions. Details will be sent in your welcome email. You’re encouraged to coordinate in the Circle community to share rooms and save costs.
What is the ticket refund policy?
Tickets are non-refundable. They are transferable until April 30, 2026. This policy keeps the energy of the room committed and focused — and ensures every seat belongs to someone who truly wants to be there.
Will we be able to meet the speakers?
Many speakers include time for questions during or after their talks, and may mingle before/after sessions. VIP ticket-holders will also have access to an intimate Saturday dinner with speakers and fellow creators.
Hi, I’m Jesse James Carver ("The Unblocked Carver")
Wood carver, web designer, and founder of The Living Internet Alliance. I launched this convention to help creators reclaim their humanity and build profitable brands around it.
The desert quest that started it all
Last December I fled the Canadian winter and was living out of a tent in the Mojave Desert, carving blocks of cedar and chasing clarity. One night I joined a live call with the team at Kortex, the creator platform built by Dan Koe and his team. A few weeks later, Dan and I were standing together on a rocky viewpoint in Arizona talking about consciousness, creativity, and human relevance.
"Now that technical work and intelligence are on tap thanks to AI, what is left is taste, agency, and coherence." — Dan Koe
I came home knowing I had to build something alive. Something for creators who refuse to become mere products of the algorithm. That seed of an idea became the Creator Economy Convention: a weekend to rediscover what makes you human, align with your tribe, and build a powerful brand around your unique voice.
I'm looking forward to seeing you there.
Don’t let another season scroll past.
This weekend will be a key checkpoint in the lives of future millionaires, tribes of lifelong friendships, and businesses that change the world.
