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 of the world and His detailed instructions for the ark of the covenant, the temple, and so much more reveal the power of purposeful 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 helps us stay rooted in what matters most. Wherever you are on your creative journey, join us to connect with like-minded creatives, be inspired, and be challenged to create with renewed purpose like never before.
