Creator Club
The GCX Creator Club is a vetted membership for creators who are actively growing a community.
Members receive guaranteed access to GCX 2027, direct introductions to studios and brands, and rewards for bringing their audiences to Universal Orlando Resort.
Membership is by application only and offered across three review waves.
A Creator Pass is something that gives you access to an event. Our Creator Club program looks to go further, providing opportunities, access and perks that are before, during and after the event. In short, we put our industry contacts to work for you.

IN THEIR OWN WORDS
Creators on GCX
What creators said about GCX 2026.
Hell yeah I'm going to try and get back to @GCXEvent next year. I mean this when I say it… Haven't felt that level of community and straight up positive nerd vibes since the first TwitchCons. It was pretty magical.

“GCX 2026 was my favorite. I had an absolute blast seeing old friends, meeting new friends… To think I started the BeardedLuke brand in my hotel room at GuardianCon 2019 to now having some of my best buds is amazing.”
“Having attended for my 4th year, it's always great to meet the people that we talk to every day online. I also felt that being an official creator opened many more doors during the event.”
“Without a doubt, connecting with fellow creators that I've known for years. Nothing beats seeing people in person, exchanging fist bumps or hugs, and just having the opportunity to hang out and do life together in person.”
“GCX has been so nice just connecting with other people in content creation and voice acting. Gives me a lot of inspiration”
“My favorite part was helping out by interviewing exhibitors and attendees on the floor! I also loved meeting other likeminded creators.”
“This year's GCX was a reminder why it always feels like home… I may not be a full time streamer anymore, but the friendships formed over that time are forever.”
“Great atmosphere for both professional and fun sides with my community, fellow creators and more.”
“As always my favorite part every year is seeing and hanging with my community and friends I've made through streaming. I love that we're all just going on vacation together!”
“@GCXEvent this year was one of best ones yet and only getting better… There is no event even close to how special and unique GCX is. See you again next year!”
Words from GCX 2026 creators, shared publicly on social or in our post-event creator survey.

The Standard

Community Building
How you bring people together and create a space your audience wants to be part of.
Growth & Potential
Your momentum, performance within your genre, and the unique value you bring to the creator space.
What We Look For
Follower count is one of four things we look at. We look for creators who are making a real impact on their audience.

Creator Club FAQ
How will I know if I am accepted?
Membership is offered across three review waves and approved members are notified by email. We don’t send rejection emails, so if you haven’t heard back by the end of the wave you applied in, you’re welcome to apply again as your channel continues to grow.
Can I apply again?
Yes. You’re always welcome to apply again in the future as your content and community continue to grow.
What does it take to be accepted?
There is no single number that qualifies you. Every application is reviewed against four standards: engagement, content and consistency, community building, and growth and potential. We accept creators who show real impact on their audience.
What does the Creator Pass include?
The GCX Creator Pass is equal to a 2 day GCX event pass. On its own, it does not include GCX After Dark or the Epic Universe Community Day. Members can earn both, along with covered lodging and domestic airfare, through affiliate code rewards.
How does the affiliate code work?
Approved members receive their own code that gives their community 10% off every GCX 2027 ticket. Multi-day passes bought with it earn 2 points and day passes earn 1. Rewards unlock at 4 points (GCX After Dark), 8 (the Epic Universe park day), 26 (three hotel nights), 50 (a round-trip flight) and 76 (a First Class upgrade).
I work in the games industry. Which badge do I need?
