Strict closed-door policy
“The Executive Creative Summit is designed to foster open dialogue between top creatives who started agencies, run creative departments and manage ‘the business side’ of a creative agency,“ said Kevin Swanepoel, CEO, The One Club for Creativity. “The summit is the industry’s only forum where these leaders can discuss their greatest business challenges in a confidential setting, and serves as a support network for them to exchange ideas and help each other navigate through those challenges.”
In order to generate frank discussion, a strict closed-door policy will ensure the highest level of confidentiality. “No live streaming, no recordings, no press, no pitches, no tweets, snaps, grams or posts will be allowed,” added Swanepoel. “Only intimate and honest conversation between some of the most successful creative professionals in the industry.”
