Southeast Florida prides itself in self-expression, forward fashions and diverse cultures. However, the region's music, art, fashion and culture have yet to create a world-class, creative class. 

  • What does South Florida need to foster creative entrepreneurship? 
  • What will make South Florida an attractive and effective place to support the creativity? 
  • What types of collaborative resources are needed?

Recently, we have seen resurgence in arts and culture and innovation and technology. There is a growing spirit and community of artists, musicians, tech startups and an increasing number of resources to support them, including art fairs, music festivals, academics, accelerators and financing sources.

 

But, is this enough? The creative community in Southeast Florida is still emerging relative to other centers. Cities such as Austin, Pittsburgh and Washington DC/Northern Virginia are making the transition from an "old" economy to an innovation economy. 

 

 

Can South Florida Ignite a Creative Economy?

 

At this event, come hear fresh thinking from new leaders in the fields of art, design, music and technology as they answer the questions above.
