A Word About CEEMore than 2 decades ago the department formerly known as the International Center for Studies in Creativity (now the Center for Applied Imagination) began hosting an annual conference that came to be known as CEE (Creativity Expert Exchange). In 2021 we shifted our annual conference to a virtual format and, as a consequence, we set an all-time record for attendance (more than 170 participants from around the world).Through CEE we celebrate the creativity community, engage in continuous learning, and explore and test new ideas. Our 2026 CEE features two keynote speakers and more than a dozen concurrent sessions from which to select.To encourage participation, admission is free. Though we are encouraging and accepting donations.A Zoom link will be provided to you after you register (special registration instructions below).We wish to involve as many community members as possible in the virtual CEE event. With that goal in mind, there is no admission fee. However, the Center for Applied Imagination is grateful for donations. All donations will go directly to the Creativity and Change Leadership Department and will be used to offset expenses associated with hosting the conference and for activities related to the academic mission of the Department. Donations are not refundable. {Note: if donors prefer, they can select to have their donation go to support students through scholarships}When you click the Green “Register” button you will be brought to the ticket page. There you can select General Admission Free Participation, indicating the number of tickets you need (1 ticket) or you can choose, if you are in a position to do so, to make a donation. Do not choose both, choose one or the other (General Admission Free Participation or a Donation Level).If you can donate, we thank you. All donors will receive an acknowledgment from Buffalo State of their donation for tax purposes (Note: Eventbrite has a 2.5% service fee that will be deducted from the amount you give).After you select your ticket, you will be asked a series of questions related to the breakout sessions. Please complete all information as it will help us prepare the Zoom breakouts. When attending the conference, you are free to change your mind and attend breakout sessions that were not pre-selected when you registered for the conference.If you want to want to make a donation, please use the website link rather than the Eventbrite app on your iPhone or iPad. Donation tickets will not appear on your iPhone or iPad.
