What is PatreCon’s Mission?

Patreon helps creators get ongoing, sustainable paychecks directly from their fans. Thousands of creators from musicians to podcasters, video game developers, comic artists and illustrators, and more are engaging and nurturing their fan-base in an intimate, immediate, and interactive way.

 

Our goal is nothing short of changing the way in which creators are paid for their work, moving from ad-supported creations to payments directly from fans. Over 25,000 creators now make a salary as an artist on Patreon. Together, we have sent over $100 million dollars to creators, making it possible for them to continue populating the internet with beautiful things that millions of people enjoy.

Parking

Street parking near Hudson Loft is limited. We highly encourage using public transportation, rideshare apps or taxis to travel to-and-from PatreCon each day. The closest paid parking lot is located at 1133 S Hope St, between W11th and W12th St.

About

A Conference For Creators

PatreCon is an annual 3-day invite-only conference hosted by Patreon to bring creators from all backgrounds together for an intimate, collaborative, and educational experience. It is a place for creators to be themselves, together.

Why You Should Attend

At PatreCon we will dive deep into stories from industry leaders, provide endless access to creative peers and run impactful workshops with real-life relevance and application to your business as a creator. You’ll leave PatreCon with the skills needed to:


Create truly compelling Patreon content & reward tiers that speak to the unique and evolving interests of your fans and mediums.


Learn and adopt strategies for coping with the mental and physical demands of being a fulltime creator so that you can continue following your passions long-term.


Develop tactics for building financial independence, retirement planning, alternative monetization streams, healthcare and hiring a support workforce.

 
Connect and collaborate with industry experts one-on-one while developing lifelong bonds that will help take your creative business to the next level.

Our Mission

Patreon is on a mission is to fund the creative class.


In 2013, YouTube musician Jack Conte was looking for a solution to his problem: millions of people loved his videos, but only hundreds of dollars were hitting his bank account. This didn’t add up, so he drafted up an idea (hi, we’re Patreon) about a website that would allows his fans to pay him directly for the value he was giving them. He brought that doodle to his college roommate Sam Yam (now the co-founder of Patreon) who turned that chicken scratch into a fully-functioning service in only 6 weeks. Fast forward 5 years, and Patreon is the solution to this same problem for over 100k creators who have collectively earned over $350 million directly from their patrons.


How do we do it?

Patreon powers membership businesses for creators by giving them the tools they need to acquire, manage, and energize their paying patrons. With a subscription-style payment model, fans pay their favorite creators a monthly amount of their choice in exchange for exclusive access, extra content, or a closer look into their creative journey. This model is a win-win; creators retain creative freedom while getting the salary they deserve, and fans get to rest easy knowing that their money goes directly towards creating more of what they love. Based in San Francisco, our team (many of whom are also creators) is empowered and hungry to help creators of all kinds know that, with the power of their fans, they can have thriving careers.

Inclusion

We want PatreCon to reflect the creative communities it showcases and celebrates. This policy serves as a list of our current inclusive production practices.


Curation
PatreCon prioritizes curating a diverse and representative lineup for our conference events. We recognize our responsibility to amplify voices that have been traditionally marginalized both in our community and in our society.


Where relevant, we provide explicit content warnings for our conference talks and festival performances.


Accessibility
Patreon uses venues which are accessible and ADA compliant. Venues have clearly marked aisles (at least 3.5ft wide), service elevators, ramps, and venue wayfinding that highlights accessible routes. We also provide reserved seating for attendees with mobility issues and/or mobility devices.


Service animals are welcome.


Health & Safety
We offer hand sanitizer stations in our restrooms and through our venues. We offer sanitary products and toiletries (including sunscreen, makeup remover, cotton pads, dental floss, and deodorants) in all our restrooms. A first aid kit will be available for the duration of the event at our registration desk.


Smoking is not permitted in any of our venues.


Identity
PatreCon offers gender pronoun stickers at registration. We encourage all attendees to use these stickers stating their pronouns.


Where possible, PatreCon offers gender neutral restrooms. Where our venues have designated gendered restrooms, we display signage recommending that attendees should use whichever restroom they feel most comfortable with.


Photo Consent
PatreCon enforces a strict photo consent policy for our attendees, designated by colored lanyards available at registration. One color to designate strictly no photos or video and another designates that photos and video are allowed without permission.


Hospitality
PatreCon offers a curated menu of water, non-alcoholic sodas, juices, coffee and tea (including decaf) free of charge throughout the event.


Our opening reception and closing party will feature a hosted beer, wine, and cocktail bar. We ask our attendees to drink responsibly. Alcohol consumption is not an excuse for violating our Code of Conduct.


Conference Code of Conduct

All attendees, speakers, sponsors and volunteers at our conference are required to agree with the following code of conduct. Organizers will enforce this code throughout the event. We expect cooperation from all participants to help ensure a safe environment for everybody.

The Quick Version

Our conference is dedicated to providing 
a harassment-free conference experience 
for everyone, regardless of gender, gender identity and expression, age, sexual orientation, disability, physical appearance, body size, race, ethnicity, religion (or lack thereof), or technology choices. We do not tolerate harassment of conference participants in any form. Sexual language and imagery is not appropriate for any conference venue, including talks, workshops, parties, Twitter and other online media. Conference participants violating these rules may be sanctioned or expelled from the conference without a refund at the discretion of the conference.


The Less Quick Version

Harassment includes offensive verbal comments related to gender, gender identity and expression, age, sexual orientation, disability, physical appearance, body size, race, ethnicity, religion, technology choices, sexual images in public spaces, deliberate intimidation, stalking, following, harassing photography or recording, sustained disruption of talks or other events, inappropriate physical contact, and unwelcome sexual attention. Participants asked to stop any 
harassing behavior are expected to 
comply immediately. If a participant engages in harassing behavior, the conference organizers may take any action they deem appropriate, including warning the offender or expulsion from the conference with no refund. If you are being harassed, notice that someone else is being harassed, or have 
any other concerns, please contact a member of conference staff immediately. Conference staff can be identified as 
they’ll be wearing badges. Conference staff will be happy to help participants contact local law enforcement, provide escorts, or otherwise assist those experiencing harassment to feel safe for

rules at the conference and and conference-related social events.
