Conference Format:
Creativity Matters uses a seminar format in which all registrants attend the same schedule of sessions, each building upon the next. Sessions are augmented by roundtable discussions and ample breaks programmed to encourage discussion and networking among registrants. Creativity Matters includes the celebratory Arts and Business Awards Luncheon (ABBY’s), recognizing exemplary corporate support of the arts.
The first day of the conference builds context by looking outward to ideas and models for creative communities from around the nation and the world. The second day sets the stage for local action by looking inwardly and critically assessing Silicon Valley’s challenges, assets and opportunities for enhancing creativity.
