Dhar Mann, Brittany Broski, Issa Rae, and more: Miami marketing conference POSSIBLE is putting the spotlight on our industry with its new Creator Economy Academy

Miami marketing conference POSSIBLE is returning for its fourth year–and putting content creators in the spotlight.

Christian Muche, former AOL and Yahoo executive and the founder & Global President of POSSIBLE, tells Tubefilter his event has attracted a notable number of creators over the past three years.

“A lot of [brand] partners would bring creators onsite without them necessarily being onstage,” he explains. “People always talk about brands’ and marketers’ parts of the [advertising] industry, but creators are coming–they are part of the action onsite.”

So, for 2026, “We have a huge step forward, not just for us as a platform but for the entire industry,” he says. “Creators are part of the economy. They have to be there. They have to be involved in every discussion, on every layer.”

This year, POSSIBLE (taking place April 27-29 at the Fontainebleau Miami Beach and the Eden Roc Miami Beach) will offer its first Creator Economy Academy, an entire roster of programming that “dives into how marketers and brands can successfully collaborate with creators shaping today’s culture and conversation,” it says.

Creator Economy Academy sessions will cover topics like platform changes, generative AI, and the creator→media business pipeline, highlighting how digital creators and their content have notched a major presence across all areas of entertainment.

POSSIBLE is also offering an Ambassador program where creators are able to attend the event, with access to all its programming, for free. The trade-off is that to secure their spot, they must give POSSIBLE a recent monthly traffic report to prove they have a following. They must also be “committed to promoting POSSIBLE 2026 and amplifying the POSSIBLE experience.”

Muche says these developments are because he and the POSSIBLE team noticed creators building longer-term partnerships with brands; often these partnerships involve creators being involved in shaping campaigns’ messaging and overall creative vibes.

It only made sense, then, that creators should have a wider presence at POSSIBLE.

“Within the team and our partners and advisory board, we discuss a lot about creativity in general. How can creativity be more involved, and drive our agenda?” he says. “Creative agencies have been involved in POSSIBLE from the beginning on, but creativity, the word, that belongs to creators at large. They are creating content, coming up with storytelling. They are driving creativity in a new way.”

When it comes to brands and marketers, creators “offer a different perspective and procedures on how to create a campaign,” Muche says. “They provide storytelling, but also from a technical standpoint. [Embracing creators] gives us an opportunity, as a platform, to connect the right people at POSSIBLE, and also approach brands with new layers of creativity.”

Muche says everyone in his industry should look at creators as “another layer across everything,” and that smart advertisers are tapping in creators “in the very early days” so they are “part [of campaigns] from the beginning to the end.”

To that end, POSSIBLE’s lineup of 100+ speakers includes dozens of creators and creator industry experts, like…

  • Dhar Mann (Creator)
  • Brittany Broski (Creator)
  • Issa Rae (Creator)
  • Charlamagne tha God (Creator)
  • Kat Stickler (Creator)
  • Ziad Ahmed (Head of Next Gen, UTA)
  • Beau Avril (SVP of Global Media & Brand Partnerships, MrBeast)
  • Nicholas Spiro (CCO, Viral Nation)
  • Adam Faze (Co-founder, Gymnasium)
  • Tim Chau (Co-founder/CEO, Impact Media)
  • and Caden Cox (Influencer Marketing Development, Creator IQ)

Muche says POSSIBLE’s Creator Economy Academy sessions are designed to be more intimate and interactive than your typical onstage panel discussions, and adds that event organizers hope “brands and marketers use the opportunity to meet and work with creators they don’t know yet.”

He also wants attending brands to go in thinking. “It would be interesting to figure out, what is the currency for creators and for brands? Is it still producing a supply of content which generates the attention you want? Well, the creators own the attention,” he says. “Is this a kind of currency? Will this end in a more trustful relationship to consumers? I think this is helpful for brands and creators to think about. I would love to see these kinds of discussions.”

In addition to the Creator Economy Academy, POSSIBLE (presented this year by Google, Pinterest, Salesforce, and Walmart Connect) is offering sessions on topics like data analytics & measurement strategies, Gen Z & emerging social trends, social impact & purpose-driven business, AI and how it’s affecting adtech, and startups & entrepreneurship.

For 2025’s event, POSSIBLE welcomed more than 5,400 attendees, and expects to surpass that number this year. Folks who can’t make it to Miami, however, will still be able to catch some of POSSIBLE’s programming thanks to YouTube, the event’s official livestream partner. Select keynote sessions and mainstage programming will stream on POSSIBLE’s YouTube channel and website.

Tickets to POSSIBLE are still available here.
