“Together with our sponsors, we are delighted to return for a second
year and organize one of the most sought-after events available for
creative professionals today, and bring together a large crowd of
like-minded individuals to learn and share new ideas that will help
us make tomorrow better,” said Chamber CEO John Akouri. “I am
inspired to share in a setting with such incredible creative minds
gathering to discuss and expand upon the ideas they encounter in
their respective fields, while absorbing the information gained from
today's conversations, and coming to our own conclusions about
ways to make our work, play and the world around us better, while
preparing for our future.”
