Work. Money. Meaning. The conversations creative leaders rarely get to have.

An afternoon salon and private dinner for studio founders, managing directors, and creative executives ready to think beyond the day-to-day — to reimagine how their business, their team, and their purpose will evolve over the next five years.

The salon.

Curated by Joel Pilger, an afternoon of candid fireside discussion exploring how we invest our time, talent, energy, and resources:

• Simon Dixon, Co-founder of DixonBaxi —The Power of People: How Do We Build Great Creative Teams?‍
  
  • Creative Director, brand visionary, and co-founder of one of the UK’s most respected independent studios, partnering with brands like Formula 1, AC Milan, and Netflix.
• Radim Malinic, Founder of Brand Nu — Soul Capital: What’s the Cost of Ignoring Ourselves?‍
  
  • Creative Director, disruptor, designer, author, and studio leader known for blending strategy, storytelling, and soul in design.
• Catharine Pitt, Co-founder of Form Play — Creative Capital: Can We Actually Own Our Work?‍
  
  • Creative Director and animator celebrated for hand-drawn storytelling and a commitment to creativity with purpose and play.
• Dan Moore, Managing Director at Found — Financial Capital: Did We Get Into This Just To Get Out Of It?‍
