The inaugural Indiana Creative Economy Summit was a resounding success! A heartfelt thank you to the incredible community of sponsors, exhibitors, speakers, and volunteers who joined forces with PATTERN to bring this vision to life. The day was charged with energy, optimism, and a collective eagerness to elevate Indiana’s creative talents. Key takeaways included the importance of cross-sector collaboration, the need for a unified language bridging policy-makers and the creative sectors, and the urgency of securing sustainable funding to ensure fair compensation for our creatives. The Summit aimed to assess the enthusiasm of Indiana’s key stakeholders in advancing a dialogue for a unified statewide strategy surrounding the creative economy. The immediate feedback has been overwhelmingly positive, indicating a robust interest in this initiative. Our next phase involves broadening these discussions across the state to cultivate a shared vision. While this undertaking requires time and patience, the potential rewards in terms of ecosystem investments are immense. We’re eager to further the conversations ignited last Friday and invite you to be an integral part of this transformative journey.
