It took place on Friday 11 and Saturday 12 September 2026 at Théâtre Casino du Liban in Jounieh, Lebanon.

What is Creator Summit?

Creator Summit brings creators, brands and business owners into one room. The 2nd Edition, in 2026, ran for two days and combined main-stage panels and keynotes, an exhibition floor of more than 50 brands, workshops, and an awards night. It sits among the largest conferences and summits in Lebanon.

The summit was founded by Paolo Khayat. For 2026, TikTok LIVE joined as the official platform partner, the first time TikTok has officially taken part in a conference in Lebanon.

What does a two-day summit need at the door?

An event this size needs ticketing, door scanning and access control that hold up under real volume: two pass types, two days, and people arriving in waves around the opening sessions.

For a summit built to put creators, brands and business owners in the same room, the first impression is the entrance. It had to be fast and fully digital from the moment someone arrived, with no queue backing up into the lobby and no paper lists.

How did Blend run ticketing and door scanning?

Blend ran both sides of the door on one system: the ticket people bought, and the scan that let them in. It is the same event ticketing platform organizers in Lebanon and the UAE use every week.

1. 1

   Passes went on sale on Blend

   Two pass types, Expo and Conference, each released in three price waves from $20 to $150. Buyers paid online and checked out in seconds.

2. 2

   Every buyer got a QR ticket instantly

   Tickets arrived by email the moment payment cleared, ready to save to Apple Wallet or Google Wallet.

3. 3

   Staff scanned tickets at the entrance

   Door staff scanned each QR code from a phone, with no special hardware. A ticket that had already been used was flagged on the spot.

4. 4

   The organizers watched it live

   The Creator Summit team followed sales and entry numbers in real time from the Blend organizer console.

What were the results?

For attendees it was one continuous experience: one ticket, one scan, and they were on the floor. For the organizers it was one place to see who had bought and who had arrived, with registration and check in coming out of the same system.

The Blend panel at Creator Summit 2026: "Events and Technology"

Blend was also on the programme. On Day One of the 2nd Edition, Blend's three co-founders took the main stage with Paolo Khayat, Founder of Creator Summit, for the panel "Events and Technology", in front of the same organizers, creators and brands the product is built for.
