The “2023 Imagine Harder Summit” was set at the historic Affleck House designed by Frank Lloyd Wright, just outside Detroit, on September 21-22, 2024.

I organized the 2023 Imagine harder Summit as a call to leaders in creative and imaginative fields to elevate and amplify the value of creativity, innovation, and futures-oriented thinking. The summit aimed to foster a shared vision, design collective messaging strategies, champion futuristic thinking through publications and seminars, develop engagement programs, launch collaborative platforms, and establish mechanisms for tracking impact. This gathering was envisioned as a starting point for the ignition phase of a renaissance of creativity and innovation. The overall goal was to unite individuals who are dedicated to redefining the potential of imagination and creativity to help us imagine better, more habitable futures.
