The full PIMCON 2026 speaker lineup has been announced ahead of the October 10 conference at Vault XXVII in Philadelphia, with programming confirmed across panels, keynote sessions, and breakout workshops, and the early-bird ticket window closes June 26. The Philly Influencer Mixer Conference — now in its third year as the city’s defining creator economy event — runs from 9 AM to 3 PM with a finale networking celebration immediately following programming. This year’s roster brings together Olympians, mental health advocates, brand strategists, and some of Philadelphia’s most recognizable media and fashion institutions under one roof.
Philadelphia Councilmember Isaiah Thomas will deliver the official welcome address. The keynote comes from Priscilla Loomis — Olympian and motivational speaker — setting the tone for a day built around both the practical and the personal dimensions of building a sustainable creative career in 2026.
PIMCON 2026 Speaker Lineup and Panel Sessions
The first panel of the day tackles the conversation the creator community has been having in private for years. “A Real Talk on Mental Health, Comparison & Creator Burnout” — moderated by Sabir M. Peele — brings together Kenny Screven, Kaitlin Brown, and Toi Storr for a discussion that goes beyond the highlight reel. It is one of the more honest programming choices a conference of this type could make, and it signals that PIMCON 2026 is interested in the full picture of what sustaining a creator career actually looks like.
A second panel explores the evolving relationship between creators, brands, and media — moderated by Jen Su, with participation from Philly PR Girl, Visit Philadelphia, and Philadelphia Fashion Week. The Philadelphia-first alignment of that panel is pointed: these are organizations with real local reach and real partnership budgets, and having them in the room with working creators is the kind of access PIMCON has built its reputation on delivering.
The afternoon opens with a panel on building a brand beyond social media, moderated by Josh Moore with panelists Alex and Mike Rubino-Nelson and Alex Peay. Breakout sessions round out the programming — Ciara Strickland and Candice Nguyen each lead dedicated sessions focused on monetization strategies and navigating brand partnerships, two areas where emerging creators consistently need the most grounded, practical guidance they can get.
PIMCON 2026 Speaker Lineup, Creator Spotlight Series and Interactive Experiences
Running throughout the day, the PIMCON 2026 Creator Spotlight Series features live, on-stage interviews with select creators sharing their personal journeys — the challenges and the wins — in a format that gives the audience something closer to a real conversation than a polished presentation. It is one of the stronger programming formats the conference has introduced, and it gives the day a texture that panels alone cannot provide.
On the production side, attendees will have access to a Creator Studio with professional lighting and styled backdrops, a Headshot Studio for updated professional photography, and immersive branded rooms with sponsor activations. VIP ticket holders get access to a private lounge shared with speakers and media — one of the more valuable networking adjacencies the conference offers for anyone serious about making connections that go beyond a business card exchange.
