I have created a custom module, and added event in etc/events.xml as below :

<?xml version="1.0"?>
<config xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xsi:noNamespaceSchemaLocation="urn:magento:framework:Event/etc/events.xsd">
    <event name="customer_account_create">
        <observer name="customizecustomer_accountcreate" instance="Module\Custom\Model\Accountcreate" shared="false" />
    </event>
</config>

And created a file Model/Accountcreate.php as below :

namespace Module\Custom\Model;

use Magento\Framework\Event\ObserverInterface;
use Magento\Framework\Event\Observer;

class Accountcreate implements ObserverInterface
{

    public function execute(Observer $observer)
    {
        $writer = new \Zend\Log\Writer\Stream(BP . '/var/log/customer.log');
        $logger = new \Zend\Log\Logger();
        $logger->addWriter($writer);
        $logger->info('Accountcreate'); // to check if event is working or not

    }
}

Also executed below commands :

php bin/magento cache:clean
php bin/magento setup:upgrade
php bin/magento setup:di:compile
php bin/magento setup:static-content:deploy

But when I'm trying to register as customer the event is not calling.

I want to add some server side validation on customer account create.

Am I doing anything wrong? Is there any another event which trigger before account create?

There is no event customer_account_create

You can use customer_register_success for customer register success.

You can see all the event list here.

Or

You can use this event for validation.

controller_action_predispatch_customer_account_createpost

Magento is using this event for validating captcha.

Instead of overriding, you can create a custom plugin (the new concept introduced in Magento 2).

Ref. Links:

Benefits of using plugins instead of overriding functions:

  • “Listen” to any method call made on an object manager controlled object and take programmatic action
  • Change the return value of any method call made on an object manager controlled object
  • Change the arguments of any method call made to an object manager controlled object
