Create by Getty Images (formerly known as “iStockalypse”) is a two-day interactive event focused on the creator community and helping you build and enhance your portfolio. We hope you’ll join us in Houston, Texas on May 18-19, 2024.

Why Houston?

It's incredibly diverse, has a distinct cultural footprint, represents the future of large cities in the US, and is uniquely positioned. We’re here to capture everything from Houstonian local life and culture to everyday sustainability and life milestones.

You will shoot a variety of ready-to-upload content for your portfolio and enjoy priceless creative development opportunities, all with our help along the way.

Expert Educational Sessions: Dive into emerging trends and best practices led by our expert staff.

Networking Opportunities: Connect with fellow creators, collaborators, and peers to expand your network and build meaningful relationships.

Professional Development: Participate in interactive workshops to enhance your skills and knowledge.

Strategic Insights: Gain actionable takeaways and strategic insights to drive success in your creative endeavors.

Just remember your camera! All content captured is yours to add to your portfolio.

The Small Print

All content captured during the event and shoots organized as part of the Create by Getty Images event is to be exclusively uploaded to iStock or Getty Images.

Now, before you start packing your bags, here's the lowdown: You'll need to handle your own travel and accommodation, but trust me, it's worth it. We're not talking about an average ordinary event. Information on nearby accommodation will be provided to attendees.

Additional local resources to aid you in planning and pitching your own shoot ideas outside of the Create by Getty Images schedule will be provided.

We’ll support the teaming up of creators so you can pitch your ideas for shoots with others.

Please keep in mind that we may combine ideas or pitches to create shooting teams.

Please note, this event is open all exclusive Getty Images and iStock creators who want to travel and bring their great enthusiasm to Houston. While the Houston event is focused on North and South American creators in these regions, we would love to meet and interact with our creators from other parts of the world as well, so everyone is welcome to attend. We will be announcing more large-scale events planned for this year shortly, so please stay tuned for events in other regions.
