Creative 21

About the Company

Creative 21 exists to explore creative thinking as a core skill for the 21st century. In a world defined by rapid change, complexity, and uncertainty, creativity is no longer limited to the arts. It is essential to how people solve problems, adapt to new conditions, build organizations, and shape communities. Creative 21 was created to examine how creative thinking shows up in real life - across disciplines, industries, and lived experience. The event brings together creators, practitioners, and organizations working at the intersection of creativity, innovation, and application. Through live experiences, demonstrations, and conversations, Creative 21 highlights how ideas move from imagination into practice, and how creative thinking can be learned, strengthened, and shared. Launched in 2025 as a curated, private experience, Creative 21 is expanding into a public format to invite broader participation in this conversation. The goal is not to celebrate creativity as a product, but to engage creativity as a process - one that helps people navigate contemporary challenges and build more resilient, thoughtful futures. The next Creative 21 event is planned for October 2026 in Charlotte, North Carolina.
