We’re coming back to Seattle April 30–May 2, 2026 for a 3-day summit for creative professionals and commercial artists serious about craft.
Soul Over Scale is about choosing depth over reach, people over metrics, and real work over endless content. We’re gathering to talk honestly about what the work costs, why it matters, and how we keep going.
This year you will hear from:
Jennifer Kinon, Co-Founder at Champions Design
Rob Sheridan, Creative Director, Artist & Writer
Stevie Shao, Illustrator & Muralist
Jeremy & Jordan Coon, Bretheren
Julie Solvstrom, Illustrator & Lettering Artist
Erwin Hines, Creative Director & Founder at Future Is Color
Francisco Reyes Jr., Never Made
Aneesh Bhoopathy & Phil Ditzler, Forge
Neri Rivas, Creative Director
Josh Horton, Founder at Creative Workers Union
…with more to come. Each one is in the trenches, doing the work, and willing to talk honestly about what it costs and why it’s worth it. Workshops will be announced by February 1.
You can expect:
• Candid presentations that skip the portfolio walkthroughs and go straight into real, raw stories—vulnerability, conviction, and why the work actually matters to people, communities, and businesses
• Hands-on workshops that sharpen your skills and give you tools you can use immediately
• Insightful demos focused on how creatives actually use tools and workflows
• Nightly dinners, hangs, and a pop-up market that make space for real conversation and connection
Tickets are live and intentionally accessible:
• $399 for individuals
• $199 for students
• $149 for a workshop seat (2 possible)
• Union membership included with every pass
• Hotel group rates from $149/night near the venue
