On the 6th of February, 2025, over 400 creators, brands, and marketers gathered at The Rydges, Melbourne, for Australia’s first conference for content creators and brand builders. Across two tracks ~ the Content Track and Brand Track ~ over thirty industry thought leaders lead twelve inspiring sessions exploring the intersection of content and commerce.

But that was just the beginning.

In September 2025, The Social Summit headed north to Sydney, taking over the iconic Manly Pacific Hotel for a sold-out event with over 500 attendees. Since then, momentum has only grown. Our most recent Melbourne event sold out once again ~ marking three consecutive sold-out events and cementing The Social Summit as the event for creators, marketers and brands ~ and Australia’s most influential room.

Melbourne saw our biggest and most dynamic experience yet, with an expanded lineup of activations from partners including RISER, Napoleon Perdis, Twig & Type, Merchgirls, Veneziano Coffee Roasters and Melbourne Social Co. From immersive brand experiences to packed-out sessions, the energy carried far beyond the room, flooding social feeds across Instagram, TikTok, LinkedIn and Substack.

The verdict? Three sold-out events, unmatched energy, and serious FOMO.

Now, we do it again.

The Social Summit, presented by RISER, returns to Sydney on Friday 18 September 2026, taking over the Manly Pacific Hotel once again ~ set to be our biggest and best event yet. Expect another unforgettable experience, bringing together the brightest minds in social media, marketing and the creator economy. Tickets are on sale now!
