Connect Your Team with Global Thought Leaders.
CreateXChange has connections to the brightest minds in the arts and business communities. We’ve been focused on bringing the next great scholars, authors, and speakers to our clients for keynote addresses, panel discussions, Q&A sessions, or meet and greets. For leaders across the region and country, engaging with these thought leaders can even provide the creative advantage necessary to innovate.
Pauline Brown, a long-time leader in the luxury goods sector and former Chairman of LVMH Moët Hennessy Louis Vuitton North America reinvents the art and science of brand building.
CXC welcomed Marie Forleo to Philadelphia. Oprah has called Marie Forleo "a thought leader for the next generation" and Tim Ferriss has said she's "one to watch."
Who We’re Working With Now.
Each month, we curate a roster of scholars, scientists, and authors who are debuting new books and ready to share their expertise and insights with your team. Here are some of the thought-leaders we are currently working with.
