One of the most important takeaways from the conference was the realization that even the most successful people in the creative industry have faced challenges and failures along the way. It was empowering to hear from people like Gavin Strange, who shared their journey towards success and acknowledged that their success was not achieved overnight. This was a powerful reminder that success is a process and that hard work and dedication are essential components of it.
Another takeaway from the conference was the importance of experimentation and playfulness in the creative process. Many of the speakers emphasized the importance of taking risks, trying new things, and not being afraid to fail. This reminded me that creative work is about exploration and self-discovery.
Lastly, the conference reminded me that expertise is important but not a prerequisite for creativity. Instead, creativity is about being open to new ideas, taking risks, and exploring new possibilities.
