Frequently asked questions

MCC was built for every stage of the journey. First time creators learn beside eight figure founders here, and that mix is exactly what makes the room worth being in.

It's disabled veteran founded, owned, and operated, and built by actual creators for creators, a combination no other conference in this space can claim. The community came before the conference did, so the connection, camaraderie, and collaboration don't end when the event does. And in 2027, it takes over the historic Fort Worth Stockyards instead of another basic hotel ballroom.

The main event runs Friday and Saturday, May 21 and 22, 2027 at Stockyards Station in Fort Worth, Texas.

Day Zero intensives extend the conference to Thursday, May 20, and every pass starts with a welcome event the night before its first day: the exclusive Meet & Greet Wednesday night for Day Zero attendees, and the Thursday night Welcome Social, open to all attendees.

Yes. Military connected creators stationed overseas can join virtually with the free OCONUS Virtual Creator Pass, and the Spouse Companion pass brings your partner along at 50% off a second registration, verified with a DOD number.

Email info@militarycreatorcon.com [info@militarycreatorcon.com--mailto link] and we'll process it, because transfers we haven't processed won't be honored at the door.

No. Airbnb and VRBO are solid options too. We list CrewDogs and any negotiated hotels first because we like to book with our foxhole friends first and to give you options that fit several budgets.
