Philly Influencer Mixer Conference: Philly’s creator scene, leveled up
The Philly Influencer Mixer Conference is officially coming back, and I love what that says about Philadelphia right now. The Philly Influencer Mixer Conference (PIMCON) returns on Saturday, October 10, 2026, taking over Vault XXVII at 27 N. 11th Street for a full day built around what creators actually need: education, access, and real-world relationship building.
After watching the momentum build in 2025, the 2026 Philly Influencer Mixer Conference is a natural next chapter for a city where style, storytelling, food, fashion, and culture collide on every block.
Founded by Philadelphia-based creative entrepreneur Davida Lovelace—known to many as Davida Janae of Vida Fashionista—the platform has become a connector for influencers, content creators, brands, media, agencies, and the larger creative ecosystem that keeps Philly’s cultural engine humming. She expressed, “PIMCON was designed to provide creators with access, education, and community in a professional setting. Returning in 2026 allows us to continue that work while expanding the conversation around creators and the role they play in today’s media and marketing landscape.”
Philly Influencer Mixer Conference: What 2025 proved, and why it mattered
If you were anywhere near Philly’s digital creator orbit last year, you felt the spark. The 2025 Philly Influencer Mixer Conference made its debut on Saturday, September 6, 2025, at Helium Comedy Club and drew over 150 influencers, creators, media professionals, and brands into one room for a day of conversation and collaboration. That inaugural event positioned the Philly Influencer Mixer Conference as more than a meetup—it showed up like a conference with intention, built to amplify Philly talent and sharpen the professional edge of the region’s creator economy.
The 2025 programming leaned into panels and workshops that tackled the real mechanics of building a creator business, including sessions like “Inside the Brand Mindset” and “Creator Conversations,” plus a hands-on workshop, “Empower Your Pitch,” focused on media kits and rate sheets with help from AI tools like ChatGPT.
The day also came with the kind of details that make creators feel respected: vendor marketplace access, giveaways, swag bags for the first 100 ticket holders, and a ticket that bundled lunch and full-day programming into one streamlined experience. And the energy didn’t end when the last panel wrapped—there was a rooftop finale party at Stratus Rooftop Lounge from 5 p.m. to 7 p.m., because Philly networks best when the vibe is right.
Davida Janae put it perfectly in 2025: “This has been on my heart since 2020. Through it all, the vision never left. To finally bring it to life and have Philly brands show up for our creator community means everything.” That’s the emotional backbone behind the Philly Influencer Mixer Conference—and it’s exactly why the return in 2026 feels like a win for the whole city.
Philly Influencer Mixer Conference: What to expect in 2026 at Vault XXVII
The 2026 Philly Influencer Mixer Conference will once again center the creator experience, with educational sessions, networking opportunities, and brand activations promised—plus more details to be announced later. The setting is a big part of the story too: Vault XXVII brings a Center City venue and event-ready layout that suits a conference built for moving between learning, meeting, and being seen. The Philly Influencer Mixer Conference is also designed to keep the conversation wide: it’s not just for creators, but for the brands, agencies, and media partners who want to collaborate in smarter, more authentic ways.
This is the style of event Philadelphia needs more of—something that treats the creator economy as a real professional lane, not a side hustle trend. If 2025 was the proof of concept, 2026 is the expansion season, with PIMCON stepping forward as a city-level platform where talent meets opportunity and connections turn into contracts.
