Mark your calendars!

This year’s (Un)Common Threads Creativity & Innovation Summit brings together artists, innovators, and leaders, to explore what it means to stay connected to your work over time.

Across industries and disciplines, our speakers share a common thread: a commitment to the work itself. Whether building in emerging technologies, shaping culture through performance, or building companies for maximum impact, each speaker reflects on the evolving relationship between creator and craft.

This year’s, we’re asking:

How do we continue to evolve without losing what matters?
How do we stay engaged as our fields transform?
What does it mean to keep choosing the work, again and again?

This year’s Summit asks what allows people not only to sustain creative practice, but to remain deeply connected to it.
