Together, the panel will examine how rapid cultural shifts are reshaping what we deem to be iconic, and how creative leaders can cultivate iconic status for local heritage sites to ensure enduring relevance.
The summit is a special 48-hour, invitation-only program in Venice, designed for an international community of makers, creative minds, CEOs, and leaders across sectors. Set against the city's unique history as a global trading and cultural nexus, it offers an opportunity to re-envision viable models of creation, production, and exchange that champion human skills as the bedrock of an inclusive, flourishing economy and society.
