About this Event

Over the course of the creative economy event series, KSM and Pattern have explored how Indiana’s creative economy intersects with real estate, placemaking, entrepreneurship, talent, innovation, and regional growth. The final conversation in the series turns to the question underneath all of it: What infrastructure is needed to move Indiana’s creative economy from scattered momentum to statewide strategy?

This session brings together four perspectives to help answer that question. Panelists will explore innovation-district and built-environment strategy, philanthropic and private capital, regional capacity for statewide coordination, and policy and coordination through the Creative Economy Leadership Alliance.

NEW LOCATION: This event will be held at KSM's new office at 600 E. 96th Street, Suite 150 Indianapolis, IN
