The Creative Futures™ · Part II · December 11, 2026 · San Antonio

Belonging


From building worlds to building the human connections, creative communities, and cultural infrastructure that make those worlds possible. One day. Every discipline.

Get in the Room

Be part of it.

Part I proved the worlds.
Part II builds the people.

In April, 300 builders came together and turned ideas into blueprints. Belonging picks up where Building Worlds left off — because worlds don't run on vision alone. They run on trust, community, access, and the people who choose to stay.

The program.

Keeping technology in service of connection, not the other way around.

Day One

Venues are story environments.

300 Main | Exp Venue

People gathered at an event, some seated and some standing, with a wooden wall background. Two women in the center appear to be discussing or working on a project on a tablet, assisted by a man with a camera or filming equipment. Other attendees are engaged with their devices or in conversation. 
Day One

One day, shaped like this.

As everyone arrives, we take time to settle in, get comfortable, and begin connecting with those around us. The journey starts here.

Morning — The conversations

Mainstage talks

Midday — The gatherings

Afternoon — The proof

Workshops + salons

Showcases + screenings

Evening — The room

The gathering that outlasts the agenda

December 11. One day.

Passes are live. The room is filling with the people you've been meaning to meet.
