Detroit’s creative pulse will beat faster this November as Robert Courtney, founder of the dynamic Robert Courtney & Associates, brings together the region’s brightest minds for the 3rd Annual CreatorCon. The two-day marketing conference, happening November 15-16, will transform the Cambria Hotel into a hub for groundbreaking ideas and collaboration. Headlining the event is Dame Dash, the visionary co-founder of Roc-A-Fella Records and Rocawear, whose entrepreneurial journey has inspired many. Expect a fusion of innovation, networking, and industry-shaping discussions that promise to uplift Detroit’s influencer and business communities.
“CreatorCon came from my unique position as a marketing and branding agency in Detroit. So in that space, we tend to work with all industries, from real estate, technology, fashion, and hospitality, and what we realized was that in a lot of these scenarios with different companies and personal brands, they don’t get a chance to mix, mingle, rub shoulders with other industries,” Courtney said.
“What we always tried to do was leverage other skills and things that were happening in other industries to try it and see if it performed just as well. And so because of that, that gave us this ‘aha’ moment, that if we got people together and allowed them to see how other creators and other industries were accomplishing different tasks, then we could create some magic.”
Attendees will have an unparalleled immersive experience at CreatorCon, where diverse industries such as Tech, Real Estate, Fashion, Film, Hospitality, and Marketing converge in one extraordinary event! This is not just a conference; it’s a vibrant launchpad designed to spark knowledge, foster creativity, and cultivate invaluable connections among over 600 industry innovators.

“Each year we’ve tried to enhance the experience. Last year, the first year, it was a one day conference. We learned a lot. It was a 12 hour conference started at nine o’clock and went until 9pm and what we learned was individuals in Detroit haven’t necessarily been super exposed to long conferences of that nature, and so we’ve learned that this is a building process,” Courtney said.
“Now we have and opportunity to not only provide all of the all of the exciting aspects of what a conference provides, but it’s also opportunity for people to realize that a conference is about more than just the exciting things. It’s about learning. It’s about extracting relationships. It’s about, you know, being able to walk away with practical information.”
CreatorCon will be sponsored by Chase Bank, AIME, Black Tech Saturdays, NEI and Detroit Means Business, among others.
Dame Dash, the renowned Co-Founder of Rocafella Records and a prominent business mogul, is set to participate in an engaging fireside chat. This event promises to be an insightful discussion, featuring not only Dash but also a dynamic lineup of influential figures, including Dennis Archer Jr., a respected entrepreneur, Orlando Baily, Executive Director of Outlier, Amber Lewis, Detroit’s CEO, as well as the acclaimed poet and activist Jessica Care Moore. Attendees can look forward to a rich exchange of ideas and experiences from these accomplished individuals.
“From the very beginning I feel like he (Dame Dash) is probably in the top five most impactful entertainers from a hip hop standpoint ever. So to be able to have a conversation, pick his brain, create questions, and try to direct the conversation in a way that’s impactful for the attendees. That’s one of the things I’m most excited about,” Courtney said.
“Moving forward over the next two, three years that’s the part our team has been able to get the attention of the brands that matter, and I’m just looking forward to and excited about seeing how we can grow those relationships.”
