A Creative Networking Experience
On Thursday, June 25, we’re inviting Chicago creatives from across industries to gather for a meaningful creative networking experience designed to go deeper than the typical meet-up. Whether you consider yourself a seasoned creative or are simply looking for a spark to tap into your creativity again, Rooted in Purpose is your space to reflect on your why, realign, and ensure your creative well isn't running dry.
This is your opportunity to invest in your growth as a creative professional with a community of peers who understand what it takes to excel at making a living doing what you love. Through conversation, connection, and a live collaborative art experience, you’ll engage with creatives across disciplines, gain insight into sustaining and evolving your craft, and cultivate relationships that spark future collaboration and growth.
Learn from experts across creative disciplines on how to put your purpose into practice for your craft.





At Vera Creative, we believe that creativity is most powerful when driven by purpose. Our agency is rooted in empathy, strategy, and culture and this is evident in the work we’ve produced for Chicago Early Learning, One Family Illinois, Puerto Rican Arts Alliance, the Chicago Cubs and more! For over a decade we’ve created work that, like roots beneath the surface, connects communities, brands, and ideas in ways that outlast the moment, and now we’re paying it forward.
