The Creator Awards is approaching, and we're kicking off the countdown with an intimate fireside chat featuring Jennifer Lapka Pfieffer - moderated by 96.5 The Buzz’s own, Jeriney. This exclusive discussion will be followed by a one-of-a-kind acoustic set with Homegrown Buzz Band – Dreamgirl.

Let’s face it  – whether you’re creating a company/or your next hit song –taking a risk and daring to do your own thing leaves you susceptible to failure and scrutiny. The way you brand yourself, how you utilize platforms to reach your audience, and saying yes to the right opportunities all factor into every creator’s equation.

And while it’s a lot of hard work – the payoff is the autonomy and the storytelling that goes along with it.

Come check out the conversation, get your voice heard in these unique Q&A sessions, and enjoy some very special drinks and snacks on us.

We'll even have a Creator Awards pitch booth for you to tell us about your big idea for a chance to win up to $360,000 in funding. #creatorawards
