A Summit on AI, Craft, and What Comes Next.
The tools collapsed the cost of output. Every brand, every agency, every team has the same generators on tap. The gap that's opening is somewhere else. In taste, in systems, in the judgment that decides what gets shipped and what gets thrown away.
CRAFTED is built for the people on the other side of that question. CMOs, founders, creative directors and operators rebuilding their craft from the inside, while the industry around them is still rearranging deck chairs. One day in Paris, just before Cannes Lions and Paris Fashion Week, with the others doing the same.
Craft is the only moat left when anyone can generate anything.
Every guest is hand-selected. The room is built deliberately. A working balance of CMOs from category-defining brands, founders shipping AI-native creative work, artists redefining the medium, and operators running the agencies and studios behind it. Curated for the quality of the conversation, not the size of the audience. The kind of room where, in five years, people will say they were present.
The brands that will matter in 2026 aren't being built the way they were in 2024. We open with the people redrawing the map, and the work they're using to do it.
The work that holds at the highest tier isn't coming from the loudest tools. It's coming from the studios who decided what to do with them. They show their hand.
Doctrine isn't enough. The question is what changes when entire teams operate this way. Built around the operators who already do.
Make of that what you will. Niemeyer's 1971 dome, a curved concrete pavilion below ground in the 19th, is one of the most quietly radical pieces of architecture in Paris. We chose it for the reasons you'd guess, and a few you wouldn't.
We're talking to a small number of brands and platforms about meaningful presence at CRAFTED Paris 2026. Not logos on a step-and-repeat. If your work belongs in the room, get in touch.
Doors at 16:00. Curtain at 17:00. The Cabaret at 21:30. Voices and titles confirmed in waves between now and June.
Every attendee is reviewed. We're optimizing for the room, not the revenue. Tell us who you are and what you're working on. If we know who told you about CRAFTED, even better.
We review every applicant against the room composition. Decisions reflect the room, not your CV. We confirm in waves between now and June, and reach out to all confirmed guests two weeks before the event.
