Business meets creativity in our new speaker series, hosted in partnership with TheArtGorgeous.
What's it all about?
IdeasTo Wake Up To
Creativity and business rely on each other – and thrive together. Just as creatives must take on a business mindset to grow, entrepreneurs and the corporate world need creativity to shake things up to innovate.
At EAST, we work playfully and play productively. And we love getting new ideas started. In partnership with TheArtGorgeous, we're bringing together speakers from both sides of the creative-business intersection for a series of short, casual talks and informal networking sessions to connect and inspire each others' communities.
Set across Hong Kong, Beijing and Miami this October through December, leaders in business and creative industries come together to co-create, learn from one another and spark new ideas.
