NXPO, in collaboration with the Faculty of Communication Arts, Chulalongkorn University, organized Thai CreatorVerse 2026 on 5–6 September 2026 at Chulalongkorn University. Held under the theme “The Future of Professional Creators: Creating Value, Building Trust, and Growing Sustainably,” the event brought together stakeholders across the creator economy ecosystem—including creators, media professionals with their own channels, academics, agencies, organizations, and brands—to exchange experiences and perspectives and jointly envision the future of the creator profession in Thailand.
The event featured insights from Mr. Khajorn Chiaranaipanich, President of the Thailand Content Creator Association (TCCA) and Managing Director of The Zero Publishing, and Ms. Suvita Charanwong, Chief Executive Officer (CEO) and Co-founder of Tellscore. Drawing on their firsthand experience in the creator economy, they discussed creating value, building trust and follower communities, and adapting to changes in digital platforms. The discussion also explored the characteristics of a “professional creator” and the role of professional standards in enhancing credibility, creating business opportunities, and driving sustainable growth in Thailand’s creator industry.
The event also provided a platform for creators to share their experiences and reflect on how a creator can step up to become a professional creator. Participants included Mr. Jarnnawut Jarnyaharn, creator of the “P’ Ed 7 Wi” channel; Ms. Masiri Silakhum, creator of the “Malee Ma Lao” channel; and Ms. Pimlada Chaipreechawit, creator of the “PEAR is hungry” channel, among others.
A key feature of Thai CreatorVerse 2026 was the Workshop and Co-creation sessions, which invited stakeholders from across the ecosystem to “think, exchange, and co-design” ways to advance the creator profession through audience value, social value, and market value. A strong creator economy ecosystem cannot be built by creators alone. It requires collaboration among creators, academics, agencies, brands, platforms, government agencies, and regulators to create a system in which creators can thrive and grow sustainably.
The insights and outcomes from the discussions and workshops will serve as important inputs for developing policy recommendations on an ethical framework and professional standards for creator entrepreneurs in Thailand’s creator economy. The aim is to develop an ecosystem that encompasses human capital development, knowledge, technology, infrastructure, and funding, as well as laws, standards, and governance.
The event highlighted the importance of collaboration across the entire ecosystem in shaping the future of Thai creators, enabling Thailand to transform the potential of its large and growing creator community into a driving force for the creative economy—creating jobs, generating income, fostering innovation, and delivering tangible value to society.
