What makes it different

Arrive never having built anything. Leave with your first AI app.

The whole day is set up so you make things. On stage, operators who have shipped it for real. In the workshops, you build instead of watching. In the afternoon, a hackathon that ships working apps for local non-profits.

That is the difference between hearing about AI and using it. Most conferences send you home with a tote bag and some notes. Create With sends you home with stuff you built.

apps in one afternoon, built for people who needed them.

A fast, electric live build on the conference floor for local Brighton non-profits, with the organisations helping judge. Most of the people building had never shipped anything before the day. In 2026 that meant over 40 working apps for Figment Arts, Over The Moon and Apron Creative. The brief was simple: make something a local organisation could genuinely use.

Who comes

Non-technical professionals with ideas to build.

A new wave of builders are shipping products faster than ever, using tools like Claude Code, Lovable, Bolt, Bubble, Softr and Glide. Some are solo founders. Some are teams of one inside big companies. They don't write code. They launch ideas.

    Automate internal processes and solve real problems without waiting on IT.

  • Founders and creators

    Build and validate ideas quickly, then automate the operations behind them.

  • Agencies and freelancers

    Deliver client projects faster and widen what you can offer.

  • Product managers

    Prototype faster and give your teams internal tools they actually use.

  • Marketing and growth

    Content at scale in your brand voice, and workflows that run themselves.

  • Community leaders

    Better member experiences with less admin around them.

The expo floor

The tools you build with, and the people who make them.

Attendees arriving and queueing at registration
When is the next Create With Conference?

The 2027 dates are being finalised and will be announced soon. Join the list below and you will hear the date, the venue and the best ticket price before anyone else.

Do I need to be technical to attend?

No. Most people in the room come from business, marketing, design, operations or a creative background. The workshops assume you have never built anything, and you leave with something that works.

How much does it cost?

Last year advance tickets were £49 and full price was £89. This is a community event and we keep it accessible. 2027 pricing will be announced with the dates.

Where is it held?

The 2026 edition took over Brighton Centre, right on the seafront near the pier, easy to reach by train and with plenty of hotels nearby. The 2027 venue will be confirmed with the dates.

What does the day look like?

Doors around 10am, talks and panels across three stages, hands-on workshops through the day, the live hackathon in the afternoon, and the afterparty on the beach from 5pm until late.

Can I bring my team?

Yes, and many companies do: groups of three to ten are common. Get in touch about group bookings once tickets are on sale.

What if I buy a ticket and cannot make it?

Tickets are not refundable, but they are fully transferable. Pass yours to a colleague or friend at any time by updating the name on the booking.

Is there accommodation nearby?

Plenty, from seafront hotels to Travelodge and Premier Inn within walking distance. Ticket holders get a link to a discounted hotel portal after booking.

Can I speak, partner or volunteer?

Yes to all three. Apply to speak on the speakers page, talk to us about partnering on the sponsors page, and volunteers get a free pass, merch and behind-the-scenes access.
