Conversations Over Peach Sweet Tea: A Night With Creators in Las Vegas

Under the soft glow of the Las Vegas lights, creatorpreneur and Creator Tea Talk host Jayde I. Powell joined forces with Sprout Social to host an exclusive VIP Creator Dinner during Creator Economy Live at Yardbird Table & Bar.

It was a night made for connection—where creators, influencers, and industry leaders gathered not just to talk shop, but to share space. Many of the guests were familiar faces from LinkedIn (or, as Jayde affectionately calls it, “the briefcase app”), but this evening invited them to close their laptops, put the metrics aside, and steep into something far more personal.

Over a classic Southern meal and glasses of sweet peach tea, the dinner unfolded like an intimate salon—a room humming with laughter, reflection, and the kind of conversation that lingers long after dessert. Stories were swapped, insights were traded, and new relationships began to take shape—proof that the most meaningful collaborations rarely start with a hashtag, but with a genuine human connection.

“Two years ago, I launched Creator Tea Talk as a space to talk candidly about the creator economy,” Jayde shared. “Hosting this dinner felt like a full-circle moment. Breaking bread with some of the sharpest minds in this space reminded me why these conversations, and this community, matter so much.”

As the night drew to a close, gratitude filled the room—the quiet kind that settles in when you know you’ve just witnessed the start of something special.

Sometimes, the best ideas aren’t born on timelines or in threads. They’re born across the table, between bites, among people who truly get it.
