Bay Area Creator Economy Summer Social: A Night of Unforgettable Community and Connection

France Tantiado, Contributor

At Bay Area Creator Economy (BACE), we believe that when you bring creators, startup founders, brands, VCs, platforms, and builders into the same room, magic happens. It sparks new ideas, fosters meaningful collaborations, and helps shape the future of the creator economy right here in our own backyard.

On Thursday, July 17th, we gathered for our BACE Summer Social event in San Carlos.  It was one of our biggest, most diverse, and most energizing gatherings yet. The energy in the room was undeniable: people weren’t just networking, they were truly connecting. They were sharing, listening, and building alongside one another.

We were thrilled to welcome not only our incredible Bay Area community, but also guests who traveled from Southern California, New York, Texas, and even internationally to be part of this vibrant evening. It’s a powerful reminder that what we’re creating together is resonating far beyond the Bay.

We’ve heard such positive feedback from so many of you, and it only fuels our passion to keep growing this community and creating spaces where authentic connections happen and where creators and companies alike can thrive. Thank you for believing in us and for helping us grow, gather, and build this together.

Of course, none of this would be possible without the support of our amazing partners who share our vision and help make these moments happen:

Kajabi: Empowering creators to own their audience and build sustainable businesses.

Superfans: Reach any audience. Powered by AI. Built on fandom.

EssentL:  Big benefits, all in one place. Creator-built solutions for health, 401K, payroll, DMCA protection, and more.

SimplyCake:  Based in downtown San Mateo, their desserts were such a hit we’re still getting messages asking where to find them! IG: @simplycakebakery

Alexandria San Carlos: Our beautiful venue for the evening. Salt & Brine is open daily for breakfast, lunch, and happy hour, and offers a welcoming space for meetings, co-working, and connection. 

We’re proud to represent the Bay Area, but even prouder to be building a community that extends far beyond it. One rooted in collaboration, innovation, and real human connection.
