A magical brief

The special about The Creativity Conference speaker brief guides our contributors towards sharing their deepest truths around ideation, realisation, and reflection.

Here’s the brief: We ask our amazing world-class creative speakers not to speak about techniques, technology, workflows, business development, marketing, social issues, legal issues or anything that might be presented as a numbered list of steps.

Instead, we ask our speakers to speak about their joy - and what it is that inspires them so profoundly that they feel compelled to create something that never existed before. We ask them to share how to create, build, develop and discover by giving practical, actionable, specific advice.

The Creativity Conference is a wisdom exchange where you will have the opportunity to grow in any creative discipline.
