To all my Caribbean friends ! Im excited to confirm that I will be heading to Barbados in person to join the Big Conversations series as part of @CARIFESTAXV! I will be sharing thoughts at the intersection of the creative industry and technology drawing from our experiences at Banj with our @CreativeTLab and Creatics programs. It will be my first time in Barbados so please tag persons I must connect with! If you are interested in joining our sessions please register with this link: carifesta.net/registration Thank you for inviting me Marielle Maignan, PhD, Synapse Zone #CARIFESTAXV #CARIFESTA2025

Organizations working with Creatives in the Caribbean are joining hands to build a stronger ecosystem to allow for more investments in the potential of the creative industries in our region. I believe that our stories are unique and need to be shared with the world. As technology advances, Creatives have a responsibility to innovate and create sustainable businesses to adapt and bring our stories into new places where the world consumes content. That is why @banjHT has been running the @CreativeTLab in the region since 2020! Glad to have joined the Caribbean Creative Alliance to do more strategic work in that space. Congratulations Marielle Barrow Maignan on the launch the 7th edition of the Caribbean in Transit Journal at my Alma Mater American University and for bringing Caribbean ecosystem players together once again! See you at our next meeting co-panelists: Maria Divina O'Brien, Matthew Cowen, Kimberley Demagny, Camille Selvon, Brett Pyper.
