Why Exhibit
CONTENT CREATOR APPLICATION
Content Creator applications for DIY CON 2026 are now open!
Here is your chance to join the first-ever DIY CON and help bring the ultimate DIY gathering to life.
WHO QUALIFIES
- DIY CON welcomes Content Creators who inspire others to make, build, create, and learn. Creators with a combined audience of 200,000 followers or more across Instagram, TikTok, and YouTube are encouraged to apply.
- Don't quite hit the 200,000-follower mark? We’d still love you to apply! We know great content comes in all sizes, and we're always excited to discover creators who are making an impact within the DIY space. There’s still opportunity for you to be approved depending on the volume of applications we receive.
- Content must be your original content and focused on all things DIY: making, building, crafting, renovating, designing, and/or creating.
- Accounts primarily dedicated to reposted content or content that is not original to the creator will not be considered.
CONTENT CREATOR TICKET ACCESS
Your DIY CON Content Creator ticket gives you complimentary access to all three days of the event. Content Creator tickets are extended as courtesy of DIY CON. You'll also have opportunities to attend Main Stage sessions and hands-on workshops throughout the weekend, based on availability.
Your Content Creator ticket DOES NOT allow:
- Early or special access into DIY CON
- Guaranteed seating at Main Stage panels or workshops
- The ability to skip lines
- Free entry to any experiences that require an extra ticket
- Access to celebrities or special guests
DEADLINES
Applications are open until October 23, 2026, at 5:00 PM CT. Content Creator spots are limited and may fill before the deadline, so we recommend submitting your application as soon as possible. Please note that Content Creator registration will not be available on-site at DIY CON.
Explore the DIY CON Show Floor
From hands-on workshops and live demos to interactive brand experiences, the DIY CON experience is built for discovery. Explore dedicated zones for Tools, Paint & Wall Treatments, Home Storage & Organization, Living Spaces, and Lawn, Garden & Outdoor—plus interactive activity destinations like The Playground (Kid’s Zone), The Den, Main Stage, VIP Area, Beer Garden, and more. There’s something to discover around every corner at Fair Park this November.
GUIDELINES
- If approved, we’d love to see DIY CON through your lens. We're counting on you to share your experience throughout the event by posting about DIY CON at least three times. Be sure to include the event name DIY CON (all caps!) in your post or caption, add the event geolocation, use #DIYCON hashtags, and/or tag @diycon.
- Submitting an application does not guarantee approval. Every application is carefully reviewed, but available Content Creator spots are limited.
- One application per person. Each creator may submit one application for consideration.
- Working with a team? Each photographer, videographer, editor, or crew member must submit their own application and be approved individually. DIY CON reserves the right to limit the number of Content Creator tickets allocated to a single team.
- Content Creator tickets are issued to the approved applicant only. Tickets are non-transferable and may not be resold. Any individual found selling a Content Creator ticket will be disqualified from future ReedPop events.
- Applicants must be 18 years of age or older. Content Creator tickets are limited and cannot be issued to children, family members, or guests.
- All application decisions are final.
- Help us keep DIY CON welcoming for everyone. Approved Content Creators agree to follow the Terms of Service for Participation in the Event, including the Code of Conduct. DIY CON is built on creativity, respect, and community, and we expect all attendees to contribute to a positive experience for those around them. Violations may result in ticket cancellation and could affect eligibility for future DIY CON and ReedPop events.
