cex helps creators build viable digital businesses:
By Creators for Creators
The creator economy movement dates back to the early days of blogging and content marketing, so industry veteran Joe Pulizzi and The Tilt team are bringing you CEX.
Our mission is to bring you the brightest minds and most vibrant voices that help content creators develop into successful entrepreneurs who build profitable digital businesses.
Unlike other events that cater to the big Silicon Valley platforms and “unicorn” startups, CEX is for the creators themselves — and you’ll come away understanding that you matter most.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Is this event COVID-19 safe?
Your safety and comfort when attending CEX are a top priority. All attendees must show proof of vaccination against COVID-19 to attend CEX 2022 (please visit our health and safety page for more information about our medical exemption policy and documentation required).
Q: Is there a virtual attendance option?
We’ve designed CEX to be a return to the classic in-person business conference, yet adapted to the realities of the world we now live in. So this isn’t a hybrid event by design. We want attendees to interact together in person where the magic happens, while still providing a safe and responsible event. If you can’t make it in person, we will have videos of the sessions available about two weeks after the event that you’ll be able to purchase.
Q: Where should I stay?
The Arizona Grand in Phoenix is a great site for the inaugural CEX for many reasons.
One, it’s easy to fly into Phoenix from just about anywhere — and you’ll want to arrive on Monday, May 2, 2022 to attend the opening reception at 6pm.
Two, it’s an inclusive environment by design that will help you relax and focus on getting the most out of CEX for the duration of your stay.
And three, we’ve negotiated a great room rate (on a space-available basis) for you to stay with us on this stunning property for the days and nights of May 2nd, 3rd, and 4th.
Q: Can I get a refund if I can’t make it?
We’ll be sad that you aren’t with us, but you can transfer your spot to someone else all the way up until the event date. Please contact us to let us know and we will make sure the transfer is honored.
Q: Will the sessions be recorded?
Yes, all sessions at CEX will be recorded. Even better, all attendees will get the videos at no additional charge. That’s right, no up-charge for session recordings — it’s all inclusive. The recordings will be available approximately two weeks after the event.
Q: Is there a VIP option?
Yes! 100 tickets for CEX will be sold as NFTs (or as we like to call them, Never-Ending Tickets – NETs). Those who purchase and hold one of these special-access tokens will be eligible to:
- Receive one (1) ticket to any and all CEX events for as long as we’re putting them on ($995 annual value).
- Exclusive VIP access to CEX event parties where you’ll mingle with other VIPs, conference speakers, and Joe ($1,000 annual value).
- Access to CEX private discord group (priceless)
- Ability to download every video presentation from CEX post event ($495 value).
And you get this EVERY YEAR.
Plus, each one includes a one-of-a-kind CEX JPEG and:
- 36 NETs entitle you to additional swag at the event
- 7 provide a backstage pass to meet and take photos with a CEX keynote
- 2 extend an invitation to have lunch with Joe Pulizzi
- 1 allows you to introduce a CEX keynote from the main stage every time we hold the event
