Creative Tech Conference
Valio Con is where real connections are made.
Real
conversations.
Real people. Really fun.
The fun conference
This is our seventh annual conference, and each year it gets better and better. Our goal is to inspire you to create and build amazing things.
This year’s conference will be on the beach in Oceanside, California. We can't think of a better place to connect with friends, old and new, than in a relaxed beach environment with sunny walks on the warm sand, and inspiring talks from people doing amazing things.
You'll hear from people who are 'doers' and risk-takers. They’re some of the world’s best designers, founders, builders, engineers, and they all have inspiring stories and valuable insight to share with you.
Speakers
Designers, founders, and builders that ship. Learn from the best in an intimate and welcoming atmosphere.
Location
Our venue this year is the historic Sunshine Brooks Theater, just a couple blocks from the beach.
Sepetember 16th-18th 2026 in Oceanside, California.
