“More than a decade ago, Imprint Culture Lab had an idea of putting luminaries around the world in one room to share their experiences. This simple idea sparked conversations among pioneers, deities, gurus and mavericks spanning industries, which then led to amazing friendships, collaborations and business ventures,” said Julia Huang, CEO of Intertrend Communications and Imprint Venture Lab.
“Together with our partner MAEKAN this eleventh year, we are excited to bring back several alumni along with other industry game changers. This will not be a cookie-cutter talking heads event. Unexpected Conversation is all but guaranteed.”
