In 2016, Austin hugged and high-fived over 200 volunteer organizers from around the world.

On November 2-4, 2016, Austin, TX welcomed volunteer organizers of CreativeMornings for a unique, global Summit. These three days of hugs and high fives featured inspiring speakers, personal growth workshops, and educational sessions focused on bringing a far-flung community closer together and saying ‘thank you’ for thousands of hours of dedicated service to over 125 creative communities around the world. The regional phrase “Giddyup!” was used as the Summit’s theme, translating across languages with the spirit and energy of “Let’s go!”
