For all military-connected creators tired of building in isolation, Military Creator Con wants to be the place where your ideas get real friends, real feedback, and a real business plan. The 2026 Military Creator Con runs April 16-18, 2026, in Arlington, Texas at the Hilton Arlington Hotel.
The MCC is a three-day meet-up for military-connected creators: service members, veterans, spouses, retirees, and supporters who make podcasts, films, books, art, digital media, tech, or run creator-led businesses—and want to turn their ideas into something concrete.
The 2026 theme is “Create With Purpose,” focused on storytelling, reinvention, and meaningful connection. The MCC lineup features speakers focused on careers, transitions, storytelling, technology, and community leadership. The keynote for Military Creator Con 2026 is #1 Apple Business Podcaster and bestselling author, Christopher Lochhead.
It’s not all class. Networking events are also baked into the agenda: a Welcome Social on Thursday night, Casino Royale Night on Friday, and a Closing Night Speakeasy Party on Saturday , followed by a Farewell Whiskey and Cigar Nightcap.
Ticket tiers start with the Creator Pass ($349) for Friday and Saturday. The VIP Pass ($729) adds a VIP lounge, premium networking, and conference recordings. The top tier, VIP + Inner Circle ($1,899), adds Thursday’s Category Design Intensive and is listed as limited to 60 seats.
There’s also an OCONUS Virtual Pass ($139) for attendees outside the continental U.S., with livestream access but no live Q&A or interaction. Conference recordings are a $99 add-on, and they’re included with VIP and Inner Circle.
If you’re military-connected and you create, MCC 2026 might be your spot. For more information, visit the MCC 2026 website.
