Future-Proof Creator Summit 2026

What happened in Canada.

June 5–7, 2026 · Abbotsford Curling Club, Abbotsford, BC

The story

The first summit.

A hundred creators filled the venue, most of them flying in from other countries. In-person tickets sold out.

Many more joined on the live stream. For three days there were keynote talks, workshops, panel discussions, warm meals, and late nights that ran past the last sessions.

Jesse wasn't sure he'd run it again. By day three, he'd seen what the weekend was doing for so many people, and running it again became non-negotiable. So it's happening again: June 4–6, 2027, back in Abbotsford.

What the 2026 attendees said

Nobody asked them to post these.

When people left Abbotsford, they went home and wrote about it on their own. Here's every post, in their words.

This past weekend was nuts... 120+ creators showed up to an in-person event. I was invited to be one of the main speakers (along side Dan Koe, Taylin Simmonds, Kieran Drew, and many others).

Seeing all of the people I met and talked to over the past 2-3 years in one place was surreal. The craziest part about this? When I started writing 3 years ago, I didn't know anyone. None of my friends understood what I was trying to do.

But the internet changed the game. You're no longer restricted your physical location. You can reach anyone, talk to anyone, and meet anyone on the internet with just an idea and a keyboard.

Thank you Jesse James Carver for making this possible. And let's do this again next year! ... From the bottom of my heart: Thank you. Your support changed my life.

I'm not sure what I was expecting when I signed up for the Future Proof Creator Summit, but I can say without a doubt that I got way more than I anticipated. I walked in expecting workshops on writing and building an online business. I was not ready for the mindset shift and the profound spiritual transformation that came with being in that room.

Jesse James Carver, thank you so much for putting this together. You were honest about the struggles and doubts that came with this vision, and because you pushed through them anyway, so many of us got to experience real transformation.

And then there were the other attendees. The people I sat with, laughed with, had long honest conversations with. They transformed me too. Nothing about being in that room felt like networking. It felt more like being reunited with long-lost friends... I left this event with a roster of people I now get to keep building alongside.

Indeed I did. And this brand new Substack is living proof of that. You gotta start somewhere. The only way is up! Much gratitude to you all Jesse James Carver for three life-changing days. Takeaway? Hope! x

During the panel discussion last weekend, someone asked the speakers what most surprised them about the event. Kieran Drew said he was most surprised at how many people in attendance had been doing deep inner work like him.

Later, I was chatting with Sara Benna about how the event pre-selected for people who value connection, immersion and depth. Heck, many of us spent 24 hours travelling and/or hundreds of dollars just to be in the room. Why? Because we give a shit.

Somehow, Jesse James Carver acted like a magnet, sending out the exact frequency that signalled to people like us that something special was going to happen... And the ROI was beyond anything we could've imagined.

My wife told me I looked genuinely excited yesterday when I was waiting for Taylin's opening, that I looked like I was going to a gig or the movies :))) Over here, it was past midnight after your dad's magic show, when Taylin's talk started.

Did you see Jesse James Carver creator summit? So many people I saw around here gathered together, and honestly, I find it so genius and so powerful.

Honestly planning something similar where I live (Cologne, Germany) to gather some European creators together :D So f*ck yeah, we need offline hangouts with Substackers.

Saturated with lessons from this weekend's convention. So many raw conversations and stories that have bridged the gap between who I want to be and the woman I have transformed into. My heart has been cracked all the way open and the light is pooling in. Speechless.

Thank you infinitely Jesse James Carver and the everyone involved for putting this together. I will hold steady to this magic in my chest.

Extremely valuable presentation from the one and only Taylin John Simmonds last night at the Future Proof Creator Summit. All about how creators can use ideas to grow and solve real-world problems. Excited to hear the rest of the speakers this weekend.

It's been three days since The Future-Proof Creator Summit and I'm still soaking it all in. I went into it thinking I'd learn business tactics. What I got was a spiritual awakening.

Incredibly blessed to have been in the room with friends, old and new. To have hugged, laughed, danced, and cried with people who are REAL. To have seen with my own eyes what happens when you pursue your dreams with reckless abandon.

Thank you Jesse James Carver for setting up that portal. Thank you to the beautiful people I met and for the lessons I learned in conversation with you all. Sending love to each and every one of you. Time to be The Fool and LEAP!

  • Kyle Gilboy: WE TRANSCENDED THE INTERNET.
  • Jack Moses: The highest expression of the creator economy is transcending the internet and coming together in person.

...I expected to learn about the technical aspects of running a business in the creator economy. I ended up learning about myself. Entrepreneurship is a spiritual journey in which you must transcend your former self in order to help others do the same.

This experience inspired me to write a long-form article on the future of economic systems, entrepreneurship, and spirituality... I call it "Spiritual Economics".
