In partnership with Teki, we will host the 2026 edition of International Creator Day on Thursday, May 14, 2026, at the University of Nairobi.
Held under the theme “Building Scalable Creator Enterprises in a Regulated Digital Economy,” this year’s event signals a significant shift in how the creator economy is perceived and supported. The gathering moves beyond viewing creators merely as content producers, instead recognizing them as innovative entrepreneurs capable of building sustainable, revenue-generating enterprises within Kenya’s evolving digital economy.
The event will bring together creators, policymakers, regulators, digital platforms, brands, fintechs, and ecosystem builders for a full day of dialogue, networking, celebration, and actionable policy discussions aimed at accelerating the growth and sustainability of creator-led businesses in Kenya and across the region.

The event features a comprehensive program including a conference, specialized workshops, and exhibitions with a focus to assist creators in transitioning from content producers into formal, revenue-generating businesses that launch brands and create jobs across the economy.
The celebrations will culminate in the Click Awards Gala, recognizing both standout creator-entrepreneurs and the “ecosystem builders” the agencies and platforms powering digital growth. Following a public voting phase that ended on May 10th, the awards will honor those demonstrating exceptional originality, consistency, and measurable impact in the digital landscape.
