Gilli: "Why I created this Event"
After two decades leading transformations at companies like Google, Yahoo, Paramount, and Disney, while mentoring entrepreneurs, creatives, and rising professionals behind the scenes, I saw a pattern: so many brilliant, capable people were still waiting for permission to lead, permission to be ambitious and permission to chase big dreams.
I created theCrea8ve™ to change that.
theCrea8ve is the space I wish I had when I was navigating identity shifts, battling imposter syndrome, and trying to break into rooms that weren’t designed for me. It’s for the dreamers chasing their next move, the career-switchers stepping into leadership, and the entrepreneurs daring to build something of their own. Blending workshops, panels, keynotes and breakout circles over 2 days, meets you where you are, helps you own your voice, and guides you toward the impact you’re meant to make in 2026. I’m excited to share this weekend with you.
I’ve brought together a powerful mix of leaders, innovators, creators, and transformers - here to help you step into who you’re becoming.
We're still in early stages but we've already lined up some awesome sauce folks. We'll finalize soon. Read below
