ATLANTA, GA — October 6, 2026 — Grammy voter and 30-year music industry veteran Samori Coles and AI recording artist Olivia B. Moore, with over 38 million music streams, will host the AI Music & Video Creator Weekend on October 17 and 18 at Cr8tive Lyfe Studios in Atlanta, Georgia, a two-day event for creators making music and video with generative AI.
The weekend opens Saturday, October 17, with the AI Creator Meetup & Listening Event from 7 PM to 10 PM, where AI music made by attendees plays all night. Sunday, October 18, brings the AI Music & Video Workshop Series from 12 PM to 3 PM, running four sessions: Beyond the Prompt, on getting a track out of Suno that sounds like the creator rather than the tool; You Made the Music, Now What?, on music business and marketing; The Director's Chair, an AI music video and film masterclass covering story, shots and visual consistency; and State of the Industry, a panel and live Q&A.
The tools have moved faster than the places to use them. Creators are producing finished work with Suno on the music side and Higgsfield, Seedance, Kling and Nano Banana on the visual side, and most of it never reaches an audience beyond a social feed. AI music is excluded from most sync libraries, and several distribution platforms have tightened their policies on AI-generated submissions in the past year.
Coles and Moore have been building the alternative weekly for months. Between AI Soundcheck, the live AI music review the two host together, and Sound & Screen, Coles's AI music video showcase and review show, they have put thousands of AI creator works in front of an audience and drawn millions of likes doing it. The weekend moves that audience into a room.
"AI creators spend their time behind a screen and almost never get in a room with other people doing the same work. The most transformative experiences I had in the traditional music industry happened at conferences and in person, and that is where the friendships, the collaborations and the business came from. We wanted a space where AI creators can meet, network, learn and build," said Coles.
Event Ambassadors include Drake Murphy, Bruce Chamoff, Lara Kent, Pete Bailey, Jermaine Lee, Dean Stern, Dream Relic and Colourfull4life. Between them they are creators, educators and influencers working across AI music and video.
"We built this to bring the love, support and good vibes we share online into real life. Our community already shows up for each other every day through a screen. Now we get to do that face to face, somewhere safe and welcoming, and that is what turns an audience into a community," said Moore.
Saturday night admission is $25. Sunday is $99 for general admission and $199 for VIP, which includes Saturday night, a private masterclass with Coles and Moore, a copyright course and 30 days inside AI Creator Society. Registration is at aicreatorweekend.com.
