Overview
- Created in LA will take place September 17–18 with programming at the El Capitan Theatre in Hollywood and the Walt Disney Studios lot in Burbank.
- Dana Walden will open the El Capitan premiere and Disney CEO Josh D'Amaro will speak on the studios lot, framing the event as a bridge between creator culture and Disney leadership.
- The lineup was expanded to include Dude Perfect, The Try Guys, Jordan Matter, Adrian Per, Dhar Mann, Jared Bush, Zach King and other high‑profile creators who will lead practical sessions on scaling teams, storytelling and audience building.
- The summit will open with a red‑carpet premiere of Sticks' original short The Technoblade Movie at El Capitan, which the organizers say is the first time the theater has hosted a premiere of this creator‑led kind.
- Sessions such as Asad Ayaz's 'Your Next Big Project with Disney' lay out clear routes from short‑form creators into scripted series, features and brand campaigns, and one outlet has reported a Dhar Mann development deal with Disney as unconfirmed reporting rather than an official studio announcement.
