REACH Nationals is hosting the REACH Summit in Los Angeles during the first week of December 2026.
This is the short version. The full agenda, venue, speaker lineup, and ticketing will be published on the Summit page as they are confirmed.
What it is
The REACH Summit is our flagship national gathering for the collegiate creator economy. The tagline is straightforward: where creators, tech, and entertainment collide.
The Summit brings college creators and the industry that hires them into the same room. It is built around working conversations, not passive panels, so that a college creator who is still figuring it out and a working brand marketer can both walk away with something they did not have when they arrived.
When and where
