Live EVENT | SEPTEMBER 18, 2025
Strange Times Need Good Conversation
When every conversation about creativity is actually about technology, and every hot take seems to be a eulogy, let's take a second and tune into what’s insistently, unmistakably alive.
We promise this isn’t another trend download. It’s a room full of people thinking critically about what’s real, what matters, and where creative leadership goes from here. If that sounds like time well spent, we’d love to see your name on the list.
In conversation with the featured guests below, we’ll delve into the deeper forces shaping creative work today — the psychotechnologies and cultural feedback loops that influence how we think, feel, and make.
