CREATE Conference 2026 runs October 16–18, 2026 in Salt Lake City. Friday includes the Buildathon, Saturday–Sunday is the Main Conference, and Monday wraps with the Co-Conspirators' Breakfast—giving attendees time to learn, apply, and connect without sprinting through everything.

If you're attending the Buildathon, arrive by 10:30 AM Friday. If you're attending the Main Conference only, arrive by 5:00 PM Friday so you're settled for the 6:00 PM welcome party.

CREATE Conference 2026 is hosted at the Hilton Salt Lake City Center in downtown Salt Lake City, Utah. Staying central keeps logistics simple, so you can focus on strategy, sessions, and real connection.

Address: 255 S W Temple St, Salt Lake City, Utah 84101
