CTRL+BLACK Presents: The Creative Social
For the ones who make the culture move.
This isn’t another conference. The Creative Social is a one-day experience celebrating Black creativity, connection, style, and the people bringing ideas to life across Connecticut.
We’re taking over the Courtyard Marriott in Waterbury for a day where you can create content, catch a conversation, shop local, meet somebody new, grab a drink, and experience the culture.
And yes, come camera ready. We’re creating immersive content experiences throughout the space, but we’re keeping the details under wraps until you arrive. Bring your phone. Bring your camera. Bring the look.
