The Visions (and DIYs) for The Conference’s Interactive Elements
Throughout the event there are opportunities to network with brands (sponsor lounges during the days) and other creatives (breaks, lunch, and the evening parties). Key to these opportunities are spaces where everyone can put down their devices and interact.

- Laurie tells the story behind the interactive art installation Step Away from the Screen created in the networking lounge.
- Natashia of Canary Jane and Jacquelinne of Strive reveal how their team brought a space to life where attendees could create giant bubbles in troughs adorned with cascading floral garlands. Want to recreate their balloon garland backdrop? Michelle of The Mumsy Blog walks you through each step!
