Being a creative isn’t just a job, a career, or a title. It’s an identity. It is something given and found in the wonder of the creative process. It's the power to bring emotion, action, and change in our minds and the world around us.
2025 Emphasis: Intentionality

2025 Emphasis: Intentionality •
Create with Purpose. Craft with Intent. Impact with Meaning.
Intentionality is at the heart of creativity—God’s creation, and His call to co-labor in His kingdom reveal the beauty and purpose of design. At Created Conference 2025, we’ll explore what intentionality looks like in craft, how it shapes us as creators, impacts those we create for, and keeps us rooted in what matters most. Wherever you are on your creative journey, join us to connect with like-minded creatives, be inspired, and create with renewed purpose.
