Let's Talk About AI!
Open to Create: How AI Makes Creative Entrepreneurs Irreplaceable

As AI reshapes how work gets created and distributed, the question isn’t whether to use it — it’s where it belongs. Drawing from the ideas in the New York Times bestselling book from LinkedIn, Open to Work: How to Get Ahead in the Age of AI, this conversation explores how entrepreneurs can use AI to get discovered, manage the day-to-day, and build the work without diluting the expertise and perspective that make them valuable.

The Co-Creation Era: How Artists and Creators are Re-Defining the CD Role
The most resonant brand work today isn't being built in conference rooms. Instead, we are witnessing a collaborative evolution of the traditional Creative Director role—one that is emerging from the worlds that artists, creators, and cultural leaders have already created.
Join ADCOLOR, in partnership with the It Takes a Village Collective, for a conversation exploring what happens when brands move beyond sponsorship and truly hand over creative control. Through real examples and candid discussion, we'll examine how trust, authenticity, and artist-led vision are reshaping the future of culture-making and brand collaboration.
