Save the date for the youth innovation summit!

If you’re a creative and know that the business side matters but you aren’t sure where to start, this session might be just what you need. In this hands-on workshop, you’ll map out your creative business idea, test whether it’s got legs, and learn how to find (and grow) your audience and market, all with tools you can use straight away.

Because whether you’re just getting started, scaling fast, or planning your exit, a clear strategy is what makes sure your time (and your team's) is spent where it matters. Are you building toward a 1, 5, and 10-year vision… or making it up as you go? If your answer is “somewhere in between,” this is the event for you.
