25th CREA Conference

The Global Creativity Initiative was present at the 25th CREA Conference held in the picturesque setting of Sestri Levante, Italy, April 2025.

This event has established itself as an international meeting place for individuals passionate about applied creativity. With over 200 attendees from diverse fields and continents, the conference offered a variety of innovative approaches to creativity in practice. Many of the sessions were educational, rooted in applied creativity, sparking lively discussions and opening new avenues for collaboration across disciplines.

The origins of CREA can be traced back to the CPSI Conference at Buffalo State University, The Center for Applied Imagination, in the USA. This historic conference will celebrate its 70th annual gathering from June 22-26, 2025. As we look forward, CREA will continue its legacy in Italy, with the next conference scheduled for April, 2026.
