The 1 Billion Followers Summit has announced that all ticket categories for its fourth edition are now sold out.
The Summit will commence next Friday under the patronage of His Highness Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Vice President, Prime Minister and Ruler of Dubai.
Organised by the UAE Government Media Office, the three-day event will be hosted in the UAE at Emirates Towers, DIFC and the Museum of the Future in Dubai, under the theme “Content for Good.”
The overwhelming demand highlights the Summit’s standing as the world’s largest gathering dedicated to shaping the content creator economy.
This year’s edition is expected to attract more than 30,000 attendees, including over 15,000 content creators. The programme features more than 500 speakers with a combined following of 3.5 billion.
Ticket options included VIP passes, offering three-day access to all sessions, speaker halls, roundtables and off-summit events, along with entry to the closing ceremony featuring a range of activities.
Expo and Creator Pro tickets were also available, granting three-day access to sessions across the Summit’s three core tracks: Technology, Economy and Content. These tracks are designed to ensure both established and emerging creators gain maximum value from the programme. Creator Pro ticket holders also receive access to the closing ceremony, off-summit events and additional benefits.
The upcoming edition will feature more than 580 keynote sessions, roundtables, debates, fireside chats and workshops, bringing together regional and international experts, including over 150 CEOs and industry leaders, to explore the latest trends in the creator economy, with a strong focus on the future impact of digital platforms.
Prominent speakers include James Stephen Donaldson (MrBeast), creator of the world’s largest YouTube channel by subscribers; Lara Trump, television producer and host; acclaimed actor and producer Will Smith; comedian, producer and podcaster Max Amini; British entrepreneur and investor Simon Squibb; Emaar founder Mohamed Alabbar; and former English football star Rio Ferdinand.
For the second consecutive year, the Summit will unite leading global social media platforms under one roof, including Snapchat, X, YouTube, TikTok, Google Gemini, Meta (Facebook, Instagram and WhatsApp), Disney+ and Twitch.
The 1 Billion Followers Summit has also introduced several high-profile initiatives that have generated global interest. These include the 1 Billion Acts of Kindness campaign, launched in collaboration with MrBeast and supported by the Mohammed bin Rashid Global Initiatives and the Varkey Foundation. The campaign has inspired more than 170,000 acts of kindness, attracting over 100,000 views within three weeks.
Another major initiative is the AI Film Award, launched in partnership with Google Gemini. Valued at $1 million and considered the world’s largest award of its kind, it has drawn interest from over 30,000 participants across 116 countries and received 3,500 film submissions.
The strong demand for the Summit’s fourth edition reinforces its reputation as a leading global platform for inspiration, knowledge sharing and opportunity, attracting content creators and digital media leaders from around the world.
The growing attendance also reflects the rising momentum of the content industry regionally and globally, driven by increased recognition of media’s ability to create positive change and by a new generation of creators who view the Summit as a vital hub for learning, networking and career development.
