Creative Keynotes will feature lightning talks from designers, product builders, and creative leaders. Each speaker has just 10-15 minutes to dive into a big idea: a personal story, a wild project, a creative breakthrough, or a design lesson that affected their trajectory.

Whether it’s a quick work share, a topic deep-dive, or a behind-the-scenes look at someone’s path — every talk is meant to spark inspiration, start conversations, and remind us that we’re all works in progress.

What to Expect:
• Dynamic speakers from across the creative and tech worlds
• Quick, engaging presentations
• Topics that range from personal journeys to project breakdowns
• Mingling before and after the talks
• A great crowd of designers, technologists, students, and curious minds

Speaker Lineup:
Allison Supron Friel, Creative Director + Designer @ Block
Emily Batt, Head of Product @ Co-Star Astrology
Zachary Hobbs, Communications Design Director @ Ideo
