Updated 8/15/22: PHOTOPLUS has postponed Create NYC until 2023. The brand made the announcement on its website and on Twitter. “We at the Create NYC team have decided to pause our plans for 2022 to build a truly dynamic experience for 2023. We discovered the show needs some extra time to produce the collective & inspiring experience imagined for this dynamic space.”

Create NYC, a three-day unique experience coming this Fall to the Duggal Greenhouse in Brooklyn, NY, celebrates the world of Image Culture with the announcement of the Create NYC speaker lineup. This new generation of creators include some of today’s most creative minds known for their advocacy, passion and influential content creation.

“We’re extremely excited to announce our first group of speakers for our inaugural installation of Create NYC, says show director Joseph Kowalsky. “We’re finding new ways to blend a robust schedule of interaction and engagement with diverse voices, personalities, and perspectives. It’s amazing to see these exciting names come together. And there are more to come.”
