The White House official said, “This Biden-Harris Administration has taken historic steps to engage digital creators, and works hard to meet Americans where they are. Officials at the highest level of this White House have engaged creators extensively, hosting regular virtual and in-person briefings with digital creators on policy issues, hosting State of the Union watch events for creators at the White House, and, last year, hosting the first ever White House Holiday Party for digital creators.”
The White House cited an estimate that 50 million people worldwide work as content creators.
Among those expected are Deputy Treasury Secretary Wally Adeyemo, White House Domestic Policy Advisor Neera Tanden and Arati Prabhakar, director of the Office of Science and Technology Policy. Also expected are Christian Tom, director of the Office of Digital Strategy, and Tericka Lambert, the deputy director.
