Morning Society: Positioning your creative work in the new world of AI

As creatives, we’re used to the struggle of putting a dollar sign on what feels like our souls (or, at least, our precious ideas).

We’re used to defending ourselves and why our work matters and is worth that price. Heck, we’re SUPER used to having clients breathing down our necks. But are we used to what our creative work means in the world of AI?

• Do we know how to adapt that dollar sign, that defending, in this world?
• How do we find clients who understand the value of human-generated intelligence? Do they even exist anymore?
  

If you’ve been struggling to land new clients, are seeing the prices drop on your services as groceries and inflation rise, this Morning Society conversation is for you.

Morning Society took a bit of a break in 2025, but we’re coming back for a one-time pop-up on a BIG topic of conversation.

There will be no presentations or speakers, just you and other creatives sitting in conversation and learning from each other. Generative AI is continuing to shake up our industry, and we need to come together to figure out how to keep moving forward.

Join us!

We’ll be at the Center for Architecture and Design on Wednesday, November 12th from 10:30 AM to 12 PM.

Anna Hetzel (Founder & Co-Partner, Stange Birds) will guide us through questions, help us connect in small group discussions, and make sure we know where the coffee is.

Ticket prices range from $0 to $8.

Meet your facilitators:

• Anna Hetzel (they/them)
  Founder & Co-Partner of Stange Birds
• Heidi Clifford (she/her)
  Past-President of CSCA and Founder of Primary Child Studio
