Maldives to Host Global Creator Summit & Awards in September 2026
The Maldives is set to step onto the global stage as a new hub for the creator economy with the launch of the World Creator Summit 2026 and the World Creator Awards 2026, powered by Creatoll.
Taking place from 20 to 25 September 2026, the new programme will bring together leading creators, platforms, publishers, tourism stakeholders and brand partners for a high-level international gathering focused on the growing influence of creator-led storytelling in travel and tourism.
Developed by Visit Maldives in collaboration with the organisers of the renowned World Travel Awards, the initiative is being positioned as a premium, invitation-only platform with a strong emphasis on quality, curation and long-term value. The ambition is to establish the Maldives not only as a host destination, but as a global meeting point for the future of creator-led influence, destination storytelling and the wider creator economy.
