On August 13 and 14, the center of the Brazilian creative universe will have an address: the Community campus in São Paulo. The Influent Summit 2025 is not just another event; it is the meeting point where the Creator Economy looks in the mirror and sees its future. More than 8,000 minds—creators, brand strategists, platforms, and investors—gathered with a purpose: to decipher the next chapters of influence.

But amidst over 100 speakers and 4 simultaneous stages, how can you ensure you leave with more than an eco bag full of goodies and a phone packed with photos? How can you turn inspiration into strategy and contacts into contracts?

This is your DUX guide. We mapped out the 5 essential experiences that you need to live at the Summit to convert the hype into practical results.

1. The Immersion: An Ecosystem of Opportunities, Not Just an Event

Forget the idea of a cold convention center. We are talking about a campus with over 100 creative studios, vibrant auditoriums, and a business fair designed to create real connections.

• What you will see: Thousands of participants, booths from major brands, and a sea of badges.

• What you MUST see: A living laboratory. Every conversation in the café is a potential partnership. Every question at a lecture is an insight into market pain points. The Summit is the place to step out of your niche bubble and understand how the gears of the entire ecosystem work together.

  
  

  Strategic Action: Go with clear goals. "I need to find 3 potential partner agencies," "I want to understand how tool X works," "I will validate my new content idea with 5 creators."

2. Actionable Knowledge: The 4 Stages Decoded for Your Pocket

Four stages may seem overwhelming. The key is not to try to see everything but to choose the tracks that address your greatest business challenges now.

• Inspiration Favela Stage: More than stories of overcoming, it's a lesson on authenticity as a business asset. In a sea of generic content, the narratives from the edges are the ones that generate real connection and loyal communities.

• Download Stage: Think of this as your trend radar to avoid being caught off guard. Behavior, consumption, innovation. This is where you understand where the audience is looking, allowing you to create products and content that meet future, not past, demands.

• AI, Platforms, and Tech Stage: It's not about the future; it's about the now. AI is not a threat; it’s an amplifier. This stage is your chance to understand how to use technology to scale your production, optimize your distribution, and analyze your results with an efficiency that was impossible until yesterday.

• Influence that Generates Business Stage: This is the treasure map. This is where the magic happens and where DUX's mission connects directly to the event. Talks about pricing, sales funnels, licensing, and building authority.

  
  

  Strategic Action: Listen carefully. When a speaker says, "to close this big project, we need working capital to hire the team...", take notes. That is the problem DUX solves.

3. Access: Brilliant Minds Within Reach of a Question

Geraldo Rufino, Karen Bachini, Gabi Lopes, Dani Russo. The list of over 100 speakers is a powerful asset.

• What you will see: Famous speakers on stage.

• What you MUST seek: Access to the logic behind success. It’s not about idolizing, but about mentoring at scale. Try to understand their mental models. How did they decide to pivot? How did they price their first big contract? What was the biggest financial mistake they made at the beginning?

  
  

  Strategic Action: Prepare smart and objective questions for the Q&A sessions. The answer could be worth more than the event ticket.

4. The Business Fair: Where Strategy Meets Tool

With over 50 exhibitors, the business fair is where theory meets practice.

• What you will see: Stands, giveaways, and demonstrations.

• What you MUST look for: Solutions for your bottlenecks. Is your problem video editing? Look for an AI tool. Is your difficulty project management? Find management software. Is your problem cash flow because clients pay in 60-90 days? This is where DUX comes in.

5. The Final Connection: Where Creativity Meets Liquidity (Our Stand!)

After two days absorbing trends, strategies, and inspiration, it all comes down to one question: "How do I put all this into practice?" The answer, often, is capital.

That’s why DUX's presence at the Influent Summit is so crucial. Our stand is not just a meeting point; it is the bridge between your ambitions and your financial reality.

Stop by our space to:

• Simulate on the Spot: Bring a contract or a proposal. Our team will show in real time how you can transform that future payment into cash in your account within 24 hours.

• Have Quick Consulting: Talk to our CEO, Luiz Octavio, and specialists to understand how receivables financing can be the strategic tool for you to hire more, invest in equipment, or simply have the financial peace of mind to create without constraints.

• Understand the Thesis: Influence is an asset. Content is a product. Your signed contract is capital. We will prove this to you.

Your Mission at the Summit

Participate in the Influent Summit 2025 not as a spectator, but as a strategist. Understand the trends, absorb the knowledge, make connections, and when the big idea arises, know that the lack of liquidity will no longer hold you back from executing it.

Stop by the DUX stand and discover the financial engine that your creativity deserves.
