Creator Economy NYC 2026 Kickoff: Same City, New Year
Come kick off 2026 with the Creator Economy NYC community.
We're bringing creators, marketers, founders, and operators together to start the year in the same room - setting intentions, meeting new people, and getting re-energized for what's ahead.
This isn't your typical networking event. We're doing three mini-talks designed to help you actually make moves in 2026:
→ Brett Dashevsky (Founder of Creator Economy NYC) on laying out your "f*ck it, create it" goal for 2026 - what you want to bring to life, and committing to doing it
→ AJ Eckstein (Founder of Creator Match) on documenting over creating - how to ease the creation process as you move through the year
→ Gabrielle Judge (CEO Ms Anti Work) on turning content creation into a thriving, sustainable business - unlearning hustle culture, automating with AI, and building careers that fit your life
Between talks: great drinks, good music, an interactive goal-setting activity (nothing intense, nothing corporate), and plenty of time to connect with people doing interesting things.
Whether you're plotting your next move, looking to meet collaborators, or just want to start the year surrounded by ambitious creative energy - this is your night.
Start 2026 with momentum. Let's do it together.
