"This Is Not a Trend" is a powerful evening of talks exploring how designers and creatives are uniquely positioned to drive cultural, social, and environmental change β€” without compromising on bold ideas or compelling work.

You’ll hear from three creative leaders who are reshaping what it means to design with purpose β€” not as an afterthought, but as a strategic and artistic edge.

This event is for designers, creatives, marketers, and cultural workers who are ready to align their values with their creative output β€” and want to do it well.



What You’ll Walk Away With:
  • Actionable tools to help you design with impact β€” not just intention
  • Fresh frameworks, mindset shifts, and real-world case studies
  • Confidence to lead purpose-driven work inside your org, agency, or studio
  • New energy, fresh inspiration, and meaningful creative connections
