What do you get when you bring together 60 passionate creators from 4 different states, tuck them into a 5-star resort in the hills of Lonavala, and throw in games, music, and a pool? You get vibes. But more than that, you get Creator Connect, an unforgettable two-day celebration of content, creativity, and community hosted by Explurger.
Let’s rewind to the weekend of July 6th and 7th, when creators from Maharashtra, Gujarat, Madhya Pradesh, and Goa converged on Rhythm Lonavala with cameras in hand, energy in their steps, and a shared goal: to connect.
Why Creator Connect?
Being a creator can sometimes feel isolating. You’re constantly in “create” mode- shooting, editing, publishing, and repeating. And while social media connects us, it rarely replaces the impact of meeting people face-to-face who understand the same journey.
Creator Connect was built to change that.
We at Explurger believe that travel and content are more than just likes and views. They’re about discovery. Of places, stories, and most importantly, people. Creator Connect is a space where creators don’t just grow their content – they grow with each other. This isn’t about numbers. It’s about people. About shared interests, mutual respect, and learning from each other in ways that algorithms can’t replicate.
Let’s Unpack the Weekend!
The weekend kicked off with a warm welcome, followed by a few sessions led by the Explurger team. We spoke about the platform’s three-year journey – where we started, what we’ve built so far, and what’s coming next. It was also a moment to reflect on how much of that progress has been shaped by the creator community itself. Throughout the event, creators took the floor to share their own travel stories and how Explurger became a part of their journey. Whether it was using Explurge-ins to document new destinations or connecting with fellow travelers through the app, these stories brought the platform’s purpose to life.
Of course, it wasn’t all serious. The games session brought out everyone’s competitive side in the best way. From team challenges to Tug of War, it was a reminder that sometimes the best way to connect is to simply have fun.
Evenings were filled with live music, impromptu performances, and an open stage where creators expressed themselves through poetry, rap, dance, and songs. No filters, no edits, just raw creativity in the moment.
And in between all of that? Conversations by the pool, new friendships forming over meals, and quiet moments where creators got to just be, away from the pressure of performance.
As the event wrapped up, one thing became clear, Creator Connect wasn’t about doing more. It was about doing things differently. It gave creators the time and space to think beyond their next post and instead focus on the bigger picture: community, collaboration, and long-term growth.
For Explurger, these moments are at the heart of what we’re building. A platform that celebrates travel, content, and exploration- but more importantly, people. People who inspire, who share, and who are better together.
