23rd Annual Florida Creativity Conference

The 23rd annual FLCC is happening March 11 - 14, 2026, at Ringling College of Art and Design in Sarasota, Florida and we are expecting over 100 participants spanning sectors such as education, business, nonprofit, government, and the creative industries. FLCC is a vibrant, welcoming experience where people from all backgrounds come together to explore new ideas, stretch their thinking, and learn tools they can apply in work, life, and everything in between. Whether it’s helping educators discover new ways to reach students, giving professionals creative tools to lead more effectively, or helping individuals unlock personal growth—FLCC is about real impact.

This year’s theme—Innovate—takes center stage as we transform our environment into “The Innovation Lab,” a hands-on, collaborative environment where creativity comes alive. Participants will step into a living laboratory—mixing, tinkering, prototyping, and cross-pollinating across disciplines, all with creative problem solving at the core. Together, we’ll step into a space where curiosity is the catalyst, creativity the method, and innovation the outcome.

At the heart of FLCC are two immersive core workshops: Foundations of Creative Problem Solving (CPS) and Creative Problem Solving Tools. These workshops feature the FourSight Thinking Profile, a powerful tool to help participants understand how they (and others) approach challenges. This insight fosters stronger collaboration and more efficient problem-solving. Held in tandem with the core workshops are 90 minute breakout sessions led by renowned leaders and innovators from around the globe, offering diverse perspectives and actionable insights. All conference participants are invited to several large group sessions that include engaging keynotes, interactive innovation sessions and a powerful reflection session that gives participants a chance to synthesize their learning and create a plan for their next steps.

Held at the inspiring Ringling College of Art and Design, the conference offers a seamless, immersive experience. All workshops, sessions, meals, and networking take place in one centralized building, making it easy to stay connected and engaged
