2022 Call for Presenters:
Creator Experiences
Show Dates: Sept. 29 – Oct. 1
PHOTOPLUS is now Create NYC, a 3-day creator festival at the Duggal Greenhouse in Brooklyn, NY. Create NYC immerses creators in anything and everything Image Culture. It celebrates all visual storytellers whose work crosses various platforms, expresses shared experiences, inspires dialogue for change, and blurs the lines between art and cultural relevance.
This year, our education returns with a curated main stage, intimate hands-on learning, and mentorship sessions. The creator experiences will be led by engaging photographers, filmmakers, designers, editors, marketers, and artists during the event.
What we look for in a creator experience leader:
• Can engage with your attendees and hold their attention for the duration of your session.
• Provide relevant tips and techniques for creator attendees to leave and apply to their business/brand.
• Be the copyright holder of all photos, videos, and intellectual property you use as your own. Exceptions are made for examples you may be comparing if they are stated as examples, and the creator/s is credited.
• We are looking for hands-on and interactive sessions.
Main Stage
