Crop Creative Conference

Crop is back this spring in Austin, Texas to celebrate 10 years of inspiring creatives from around the world. What started as a small, scrappy idea has grown into a two-day creative experience built around real stories, good people, and the kind of creative energy that keeps showing up year after year.

Crop has never been a cookie-cutter conference. It’s intentionally informal, unapologetically honest, and grounded in genuine connection. The talks hit, and the energy carries on long after they’re over. It feels more like a scene than a production.

What to Expect

Workshop Day

Thursday, April 23rd · Downtown Austin (Capital Factory)

Crop 2026 kicks off with a full day of workshops focused on learning new skills, leveling up existing skills, and practical takeaways. Workshop details will be announced soon, and General Admission ticket holders will be the first to know when workshops become available.

General Admission Day

Friday, April 24th · Downtown Austin (800 Congress)

Our main conference day is the heart of Crop. A full day of keynotes designed to inspire, challenge, and remind you why you care about the work in the first place, featuring designers, illustrators, authors, artists, and creative entrepreneurs sharing honest stories and hard-earned perspective. The day also includes the Crop Shop and a curated group of vendors, all under one roof and just steps away from some of the best food, coffee, music venues, and creative energy Austin has to offer.

Why Crop

Creative inspiration that hits because it’s real, not rehearsed

A rare chance to spend time with designers and creatives you’ve followed for years

An intentionally intimate, boutique experience built around genuine connection

Austin energy everywhere you turn, from the venues to the after-hours hangs

Note: Crop tickets are non-refundable, but are transferrable.
Tickets bought after March 1st are not guaranteed swag bags
