ResolveCon 2026 Is Set for September 25–27: What DaVinci Resolve Creators Should Know

ResolveCon is returning September 25–27, 2026, giving DaVinci Resolve editors, colorists, motion-graphics artists and creator-educators another online event built specifically around the Blackmagic Design ecosystem.

Casey Faris announced the dates in a July video and framed this year’s event as a three-day online gathering focused on helping people make better work in DaVinci Resolve. The announcement says ResolveCon 2026 will include 16 speakers, with presenter details being released separately, and that tickets will remain free.

For creators who use Resolve as part of a broader video-production business, the important point is not just that another software event is happening. ResolveCon sits in a useful middle ground between product announcements, creator tutorials and community training. It is built around people who actually teach and use the software rather than around a conventional trade-show floor.

The 2026 format is changing

Faris says this year’s event will stream through Ground Control’s school rather than directly on YouTube. That is a meaningful shift because it gives the organizers more control over registration, updates and the viewing environment while still keeping general admission free.

The announcement directs viewers to RSVP in advance so Ground Control can send the information needed to watch the event. That makes registration more important than in a typical public livestream. Anyone planning to attend should use the official ResolveCon page rather than assuming the sessions will simply appear in a normal YouTube feed.

The event is scheduled for Friday, September 25 through Sunday, September 27. Faris says there will be 16 speakers, including creators familiar to people already following the Resolve education space, but the announcement itself does not provide the full presenter list. Until the organizers publish that lineup, it is better to treat individual speaker names as unconfirmed rather than fill in the blanks from previous years.

Why ResolveCon fits the creator-tool landscape

Resolve has become more than an editing application for many creators. A single project can move through editing, color, motion graphics, audio and delivery without leaving the broader Resolve environment. That makes training events especially useful for people whose job is not simply “video editor” but creator, producer, marketer or small-team operator.

Puget Systems has previously described ResolveCon as an event developed by Casey Faris and the Ground Control team to bring the Resolve community together around education and practical learning. That background helps explain why the event feels closer to a creator-education conference than a vendor keynote.

For someone learning Resolve, a multi-speaker event can also solve a common problem with tutorial-driven education: no single instructor teaches every workflow the same way. Hearing different approaches can expose better methods for editing, color, Fusion, audio, organization and production decisions that may not surface when someone learns from only one channel or course.

Blackmagic Design is involved again

Faris’s 2026 announcement identifies Blackmagic Design as a sponsor of ResolveCon. That does not automatically mean the event should be treated as a formal Blackmagic product event, but it reinforces the connection between the community conference and the company behind DaVinci Resolve.

That distinction matters. Creators should expect Resolve-focused education and community programming, not assume every session represents an official Blackmagic roadmap or product commitment. If software announcements or unreleased features become part of the program, those details should be evaluated from the session or from Blackmagic’s own documentation when they are actually published.

Who should put it on the calendar

ResolveCon makes the most sense for creators who already use DaVinci Resolve, people considering a move from another editing platform, and editors who want a broader view of how other working creators structure their process.

It may also be useful for teams that have adopted Resolve piecemeal. One person might use the Edit page, another might work in Fusion, and someone else may only touch Fairlight or color. An event that brings multiple specialties into one program can help those teams understand what the rest of the application is capable of without requiring everyone to start from zero.

The free-ticket model lowers the risk of registering even for people who only expect to watch a few sessions. The bigger consideration is making sure the dates and viewing instructions are saved in advance, especially because the stream is moving away from a standard YouTube-first setup.

What to watch for next

The next useful update will be the full speaker and session lineup. That will determine whether this year’s strongest value is in editing, Fusion, color, creator workflows or another part of the Resolve ecosystem.

Mode will treat those details as a separate update once they are officially available rather than speculate from previous years. For now, the confirmed information is enough to mark the calendar: ResolveCon 2026 runs September 25–27, registration is free, the event is online, and Ground Control is moving the stream into its own school platform.

For DaVinci Resolve creators, that makes it one of the more relevant education dates still ahead this month.
