Welcome!
Join us on December 5-6, 2024 at UCLA to envision new opportunities for joint research, workforce development, and innovation by the creative and technology sectors.
The ICC National Convening is the culminating gathering for the NSF-supported Innovation, Culture, and Creativity project. It will bring together leaders and innovators from across the country to synthesize results of the seven regional workshops and industry summit.
Below you’ll find event logistics, an agenda overview, and more information on the ICC project.

The Innovation, Culture, and Creativity Project (ICC) aims to develop a roadmap for increased federal support for research innovation at the intersection of the creative and technology sectors. More on the project can be found here.
To date, we have convened seven regional workshops and the NSF Creative Industries Summit to explore the interplay among innovation, culture, and creativity in communities across the country.
Ideas generated from these workshops and the summit will be incorporated into the culminating national convening on December 5-6, 2024 at UCLA Luskin Conference Center in Los Angeles.
Participants include organizers and attendees ofthe workshops, attendees of the creative industries summit, and other experts and stakeholders from creative and technology fields.
Attendance is by invitation only. To request an invitation, please contact icc@remap.ucla.edu.
ICC is organized by UCLA and UC Santa Barbara with support from the National Science Foundation’s Directorate for Technology, Innovation, and Partnerships.
