As generative AI increases its reach, the value of authentic, human-driven creativity is more valuable than ever.  As a creator in the creative products community, how can you best protect your ideas and your products?  What tools can help you guard against piracy?  Join us for a live discussion with Maureen Kelly, an IP lawyer (and active botanical artist!) as we explore what we need to know about intellectual property protection as active creative producers.

STEAM Power! Creative Products that Fuel Creative Education   

When: Thursday, September 24th at 3:00 PM ET

Art education is changing as STEAM (Science, Tech, Engineering, Art, and Math) focused initiatives continue to take hold.  There are more opportunities to explore technology, culture and a host of content integrations...all of which translates into new product opportunities.  Join us for a lively panel discussion with innovators who are making products that support - and fuel! - the changing shape of learning and teaching in the arts!

 
Special Preview: Turning Kaleidoscope Research into Your Next Business Decision

When: Tuesday, September 29th at 3:00 PM ET
Speaker: Steve Robinson, Creativity Consulting Group

 
Kaleidoscope tells you what's happening in the market. It won't tell you what to do Monday morning.  This session previews a new member toolkit that closes that gap—combine Kaleidoscope with your own sales, inventory, and customer data to get a plain-English read on your store. What's really making money. What's sitting there. Who's actually walking in. And a short plan for the next 30, 60, and 90 days. 

We'll also highlight other resources, such as "Office Hours": live online, open monthly office hours —bring a report or a question, share best practices, and leave with a next step. Better decisions in days, not months.
