ABOUT THE CREATIVITY CONFERENCE
The Creativity Conference is a global meeting of minds to explore the essence of creativity.
Creative luminaries from around the world are invited not to speak about workflows, techniques, business skills, branding exercises, legal issues or business development. Instead, they are invited to speak about their JOY!
We invite our speakers to share what it is that inspires them so profoundly that they feel compelled to create something that never existed before - and then to share practical, actionable, specific advice on how they did it.
We have 8 creative themes for talks, workshops & experiences:
Inspiration
Film, TV & Games
Music
Live Performance
Literature
Photography
Fine Art
Digital Art
