About
What is it about that magical moment when a dancer first steps out on stage? How about the most impactful visual works? An amazing installation-based experience? What about the moment you finish a new creative work and you know it's complete?
Famously, Leonardo DaVinci said "Art is never finished, only abandoned". So much for the end of the process - one that is always iterative and developmental. What about the starting point, where ideation turns into practical specific action? How can you know if this new work is the ideal one to realise your true potential and change the world?
The Creativity Conference is a global meeting of minds to explore the essence of creativity. We invite incredible creative speakers to share the wisdom they have gained from successful projects - and our definition for 'Creativity' is very particular: 'Any intentional decision'.
This means Creativity might be painting an extraordinary composition, choreographing a wildly impactful dance, and performing poetry, or even founding a new company, raising a child, or setting out to develop a technology that changes the lives of millions.

Our brief is a rare one:
We ask our speakers to speak about their Joy, and share what exactly it is that inspires them so profoundly that they feel compelled to create something truly original. Next, we ask them to share practical, actionable, specific advice on how to bring creative projects from the realm of ideas to the real world.
What we ask our speakers not to speak about is pretty unusual too:
We ask our speakers to not speak about technology, techniques, workflows, business skills, branding, business development, social issues, legal issues, or anything that is presented as a numbered list of steps.
In short, this means speakers are invited to speak exclusively about the universality of the human condition and the way we work together as one big cross-border, multi-culture, diverse, beautiful collective that is ever finding new ways to express love, compassion, and joy as a shared experience.
Join us in-person and online for an exchange of wisdom and the opportunity to meet likeminded creatives of all kinds, practicing multiple creative disciplines and perhaps you'll find your next creative collaborator and give as much as you receive.

Our conference isn't just a platform for thought exchange, but an incubator for transformative experiences. We've challenged our distinguished speakers to share a blend of wisdom: practical advice intertwined with heartfelt narratives of the ways in which creativity has sculpted their personal and professional journeys. The Creativity Conference transcends traditional boundaries— it's an ignition point for global collaborations, the genesis of ground-breaking ventures, and the cradle for impactful projects. This gathering isn't merely an event, but a catalyst for fostering a worldwide creative renaissance.

Expect to engage with world-renowned creative minds, cultivating invaluable connections that extend beyond traditional networking. Experience a uniquely tailored virtual conference, masterfully designed to immerse you in the world of creativity without the need for travel.

And The Creativity Conference is not just about the tangible takeaways: anticipate a renewed spirit, a newly sparked imagination, and a broader perspective on harnessing the boundless potential of creative thinking.
What’s it like attending The Creativity Conference?
We asked our attendees of the New York City 2023 event to describe their experience
“I have finally found the people who actually understand how my brain works and how I see things in the world of creativity.
It is the first conference where I have felt like I found my tribe.”
Jaye, Oct 2023 Attendee
