So far we have brought together 70+ executive level leaders from a variety of industries from dance, music, opera, dance, film, theatre, and visual arts. This cross-pollination of creativity has already proved quite fruitful and we look forward to continuing these important conversations and connections. Please join us for our next creative industry roundtable on Monday, January 25th from Noon-2pm to discuss current resources available, successes and failures, and also to brainstorm ways to collaborate and innovate our way to a place of excellence and resiliency through 2021 and beyond.If you were able to attend one of our past roundtables, you heard our pitch for radical collaboration across all industries of the visual, performing, and culinary arts in San Diego.
