About the speaker
This May, as we explore CreativeMorningsâ global theme CREATE, weâre happy to welcome Kurt Lightner to the stage.
It felt only right to welcome him, who many of you already know as the creative mind behind Sit & Draw and someone who brings so much art and joy to our events đ
In his talk, Starting From Scratch, Kurt will share insights from his career as a creative and reflect on how his path has been far from linear. He will explore how uncertainty can often become fertile ground for growth and innovation.
Creativity is an inherently human quality that goes beyond the arts. It is a fundamental part of being human and lies at the core of problem solving across every discipline.
Kurt will also share some of the trials and triumphs from his journey, along with the epiphany that helped him unlock a new approach to life.
This will also be our last event before the summer break, and ClĂĄudiaâs final one as host. Maybe youâll even get to meet the new host on stage? Youâll have to come and see!
đThe global theme CREATE was chosen by CreativeMornings HQ in New York alongside our global partner Adobe and illustrated by Ana Grigorovici. It is tied to a global movement, Release Day, a 24-hour celebration on May 29 where creative people all over the world collectively release their work.

Modern life is stressful, especially for working professionals. Schedules, deadlines, client expectations, and overall demands compete to take your time, energy, and effectiveness.
Sit & Draw was created as a simple way to address these issues and reset a sense of balance by encouraging participants to let go of their ânotification pingedâ minds and enter into a state of flow through a primal act of collaborative mark making.
It is perfect for team-building and events. Visit their website to find out more and donÂŽt forget to follow Sit&Draw on Instagram @sitanddrawsessions!
In todayâs busy work life, it can be hard to find new perspectives and unlock the creativity that is already in the room. This is where LEGOÂź Serious Play becomes an unexpected and innovative tool. The small, colorful bricks spark curiosity and playfulness, inviting people to âthink with their handsâ. When we build together instead of just talk, everyone gets involved, new perspectives emerge, and surprising solutions take shape right on the table.
The method works just as well for complex challenges as for moving past smaller obstacles. It can add energy and insight to team building â or simply bring a fun and creative twist to any meeting.

âCreativity is collaborative: Weâll bring the coffee if you BRING A CUP! As a volunteer organisation we try to keep our work to a minimum - instead of washing up weâd much rather create events for all of you wonderful people, and disposable mugs are just too wasteful.
