About this Event
On Thursday, December 10, the curtain rises on the 12th annual PINC Experience — a full day of powerful talks, unexpected perspectives, performances, and ideas designed to challenge, inspire, and spark something new.
This year’s lineup spans disciplines, perspectives, and plenty of the unexpected — from environmental art and community-built libraries to robotics, creativity, service, and the strange and wonderful question of what it means to be human in an increasingly alien world.
PINC transpires across two events:
- PINC Experience at the Sarasota Opera House - Thursday, December 10
- PINC Ideas Dinner at Rosemary District - Friday, December 11
PINC Experience
Thursday, December 10, 2026 | 8am-6:30pm | Sarasota Opera House
PINC takes over the Sarasota Opera House for a day of speakers, ideas and experiences that move across disciplines, places and perspectives.
Throughout the day, 12 speakers from around the world take the stage to share what they know deeply, have lived personally, and are creating, challenging, building or changing in the world around them. Between talks, performances, intermezzos, food and experiences give you plenty more to soak in.

PINC Ideas Dinner: Tickets Open Soon!
Friday, December 11, 2026 | 6-9pm | Rosemary District
PINC transforms the street for an evening of elevated dining, art, culture and connection, centered around Sarasota’s longest dinner table.
Guests feast at a longtable under the open sky alongside PINC speakers, community leaders and fellow attendees. Beyond the table, the neighborhood becomes part of the evening, with creative encounters unfolding all around you.
Come for dinner, wander a little, meet someone new and see where the evening takes you. Tickets will go on sale for the PINC dinner at the end of October.
