Overview
Speakers
Description:
Mothers of Creative is a Festival Meet-Up designed to connect and empower those navigating the intersection of industry and motherhood.
In an environment that often celebrates constant availability, this session brings together mothers across disciplines (leaders, strategists, and creatives) to share experiences, build connections and exchange perspectives in an open and supportive space.
Together, we’ll explore what shifts can make our industry more inclusive and sustainable and how motherhood enriched leadership, strategic thinking and creative work.
Through facilitated conversation and active audience participation, this meet-up fosters meaningful networking, shared learning and actionable insights, strengthening a community that is redefining what creative careers can look like.
