About Circles
Amplifying Creativity
Join us in 2024 where we gather to explore the expansive world of creative design and the subtle influence of AI. In this year’s event, AI serves as a catalyst, adding a touch of innovation to our discussions, but not overshadowing our primary focus on creative design. Our mission is to ‘Amplify Creativity,’ delving into the art of design, craftsmanship, and the power of human expression. Discover how AI can be seamlessly integrated into your design process, enhancing your creative vision while maintaining the core essence of design excellence. Together, we’ll celebrate the convergence of creativity, where traditional and contemporary approaches unite, leaving you inspired and ready to embark on new design adventures.
