Get ready for one of Newfoundland and Labrador’s most anticipated events of the year: the (Un)Common Threads Creativity & Innovation Summit. Taking place on November 5, 2026, at the Sheraton Hotel in St. John’s, this one-day summit will gather innovators, creators, and thought leaders for a day of learning, collaboration, and inspiration—designed to spark fresh ideas and drive creative growth across industries.
This year’s Summit, For the Love of the Game, explores what it means to stay connected to your work as industries evolve, technologies shift, and the world changes around us. Across disciplines, our speakers reflect on the ongoing relationship between creator and craft, and the curiosity, resilience, and adaptability required to sustain meaningful work over time.
Bringing together acclaimed leaders from across entertainment, interactive media, and other visionary industries, this year’s Summit bridges perspectives from performance, storytelling, technology, and design, and asks what allows people not only to sustain creative practice, but to remain deeply connected to it - a conversation about endurance, experimentation, leadership, and the ongoing decision to stay in the game.
