Dubbed the most creative day of the year, PINC returns to the Sarasota Opera House on Thursday, December 7 bringing an impressive lineup of 12 international speakers, artistic intermezzos including Westcoast Black Theatre Troupe and Sarasota Contemporary dance, and exceptional food. From a “childhood conservationist” who brings play to children in refugee camps around the world to rising tech stars, NASA researchers, authors in magnificent magician's coats, artistic activists, foster care champions, educators, Guinness World Record-holding athletes and more, PINC’s thought-provoking speakers span every imaginable discipline and bring their unique experiences and expertise to the Sarasota community.  “PINC gives our community the opportunity to come together for one day to witness a host of inspirational experiences,” said Anand Pallegar, founder of DreamLarge. “At PINC, we gather some of the world’s most forward-thinking innovators and do-gooders to enliven and inspire us to view our lives in unexpected ways. This year’s speakers are all designed to focus on our community’s state of mind, advancing our understanding of the collective trauma we’ve all faced in the past few years.” The experience runs from 8 a.m. to 6 p.m. with several breaks throughout on Dec. 7 and includes breakfast, lunch, and unique snacks provided by Innovative Dining. An afterparty will be held for PINC attendees at the Sarasota Modern Hotel directly following PINC. The PINC Experience is presented by All Star Children’s Foundation and Ringling College of Art & Design. It is generously supported by the Charles & Margery Barancik Foundation, Gulf Coast Community Foundation, Michael Saunders & Company, Parkside, Project Pride, Sarasota Magazine, SRQ Magazine, The Sarasota Modern Hotel and WUSF Public Media. With special thanks to Shawn O’Malley, Victoria Blooms, and Wonder Cake Creations. For more information, contact Julia Groom at Julia@DreamLarge.org or by calling 941.786.8732.
