Beyond Vanity Metrics: How Brands Are Actually Measuring Influencer ROI in 2026
A practical walk-through of the measurement methods top brands use to evaluate creator partnerships in 2026 — incrementality testing, brand-lift studies, attribution windows, and post-campaign cohort analysis. Attendees leave with a measurement framework they can apply to their next campaign.
Speaker: TBAAI Creators: Threat or Tool?
Two operators on opposing sides, 10 minutes each, 25 minutes moderated Q&A. Audience votes at start and end.
Speakers: TBAFrom Influencer to Founder: When and How Creators Become Brands
The biggest creators of the last decade aren't just doing brand deals — they're building consumer brands of their own (Mr. Beast Burger, Prime, Chamberlain Coffee, Feastables). A panel of three voices — a creator who built a product business, an investor backing creator-led brands, and an operator who's helped multiple creators launch — on when this path makes sense, what it actually takes, and where most attempts fail.
Speakers: TBABest Influencer Marketing Practices
An in-depth discussion on myth versus facts in influencer marketing — what brands actually need to do, what creators need to know, and where the conventional advice gets it wrong.
The Creator-Economy Tech Stack: Tools and Platforms Worth Knowing in 2026
A speaker-led roundup of the most important tools and platforms shaping creator operations in 2026 — measurement, payments, marketplace, talent management, content production, distribution. Annotated walkthrough with category-by-category recommendations. Attendees leave with a one-page tech-stack reference.
Speaker: TBAInside the Algorithm: How TikTok, Meta, YouTube, and Snap Decide What Reaches Your Audience in 2026
Three to four panelists — agency heads who specialize in platform optimization, former platform employees now consulting, and senior third-party analytics professionals — walk through what each major platform is actually optimizing for, the metrics that matter, and where creator strategy needs to shift in 2026.
Speakers: TBASpeed Networking
