How Shopify Shook Up the Traditional Conference Playbook
From hackathons to hidden speakeasies, Shopify’s annual conference drew inspiration from the real spaces where entrepreneurial dreams take shape.
'Guided by Shopify’s clear vision of making commerce better for everyone, the summit celebrated the merchant’s journey while staying true to the brand’s builder mentality,' said Sara Vinten, creative director at agency Mint. To drive that idea home, the main stage featured a design inspired by commerce elements, including hidden crate entrances and working garage doors.

How to Keep Sponsors Happy—Without Sacrificing an Event's Integrity
Sponsorships can make or break an event's budget, but satisfying sponsors without losing authenticity can be a delicate balancing act.
At Create & Cultivate's Los Angeles conference in 2020, all sponsors were offered design recommendations, including floral and greenery options, as well as mood board inspiration. This allowed their activations to match the event's Instagram-friendly aesthetic and theme while still ensuring their messaging was front and center. Main stage sponsor Mastercard, for example, subtly integrated its signature logo in the floral display. This allowed it to appear in every photo captured—without taking away from the stage's gorgeous floral designs. See more: Why Did All the Activations at the Create & Cultivate Conference Look Alike?
