Welcome to NYC Creator Week—the flagship tech, music, and art festival for New York City. Inspired by the community-oriented and accessible spirit of SXSW, this week-long event merges the best of art, fashion, music, technology, film, gaming, and content creation into a modern, inclusive celebration.

Hosted by Ilias Anwar

NYC Creator Week is brought to life by Ilias Anwar, a creator, author, and founder of TCC Entertainment, TappedX, and Creator Week. With over 200,000 followers across his platforms and experience managing, hosting, and booking over 500 events in cities like DC, LA, and NY, Ilias has established himself as a leader in event curation.

Having partnered with major players such as NFL Super Bowl Weekend, NY Fashion Week, Bitcoin Miami, and the DMV Revamped Festival with Pusha T, Ilias’s expertise brings a dynamic and innovative edge to NYC Creator Week. In 2024, an independent Creator Week sold over 908 tickets with just two weeks of preparation, proving the demand for a festival that bridges multiple creative industries.

Why NYC?

SXSW attracts over 300,000 attendees annually in Austin, Texas. With its unparalleled diversity, cultural vibrancy, and status as a global hub, NYC has the potential to attract 500,000 attendees, making this the ultimate festival for creators across industries. NYC Creator Week reimagines what a modern, community-oriented festival can be.

Our Vision

We believe everyone is a creator—not just filmmakers, musicians, or engineers, but also 9-to-5 workers like salespeople, janitors, and construction workers. Creator Week is a space to learn, showcase, and elevate your creations, no matter your background or profession.
