Keep thinking for someone,
I want to support creators.

CREATORS MATCH FESTA's mission is to "create a society where creators can shine"
This is a real-life networking event for creators organized by Creators Match, which has been in operation since 2007.

This event will provide a space for freelance creators to communicate, grow, and take on new challenges, helping them to develop their own careers and encounter new ideas, rivals, and friends.

The creative industry is undergoing a period of great change due to changes in communication caused by the COVID-19 pandemic and the rise of generative AI. We look forward to welcoming you if you are someone who continues to move forward with faith in the power and potential of creativity.
