THE FUTURE OF THE CREATIVE WORKFORCE

Join CREATOR CO-LABS for a forward-looking conversation on the future of the creative workforce, featuring leaders from Canva, Portable and Paper Moose.

As AI becomes embedded in the creative workflow, this panel looks beyond tools to explore how teams, roles, and leadership are evolving and what this means for advertising, VFX, games, design and film production businesses and the people inside them.

We’ll explore:

• Where AI is creating real impact for creative teams today
• The people and cultural factors shaping successful adoption
• How leaders can build clarity, trust and accountability as workflows evolve
• Emerging roles and skillsets across creative organisations
• How studios are rethinking learning, collaboration and career progression in a post-pandemic world

Settle in for a thoughtful discussion on how creative organisations can adapt responsibly, support their people and build resilient teams in a rapidly changing landscape.

And as always, stay on after the panel for drinks and conversation - meet other creatives, swap ideas, and get inspired about where the future is headed.
