WILD MINDS
Meet a different perspective. Discover something unexpected. Share what you’re building.
Wild Minds Initiative creates experiences where founders, executives, creatives, families, brands, and curious minds can connect, contribute, and explore what comes next.
From intimate tables to larger cultural gatherings, we create space for conversations, discoveries, and relationships that can continue beyond the experience.
Explore upcoming gatherings, curated conversations, workshops, and cultural experiences. Each offers a different way to participate—and something new to discover.
Wolf Connect was our first experiment: bringing people from different backgrounds, industries, and generations together through shared experiences.
What started as a gathering became the foundation of Wild Minds Initiative and our belief that unexpected connections can open doors to new opportunities.
Today, that same philosophy shapes everything we create.
CULTURE IN MOTION
A meeting point for people and ideas in motion.
During SXSW, Wild Minds brings together founders, artists, executives, technologists, brands, and creative communities through experiences built around discovery and exchange.
Programming may include conversations, performances, product experiences, creative showcases, workshops, and spaces to gather.
For participants, it’s a chance to encounter a new perspective, share their work, or make a meaningful connection. For partners, it’s an opportunity to help shape an experience and contribute to what people take away.
We work with brands and artists to turn their ideas, expertise, and creativity into opportunities for participation.
A workshop that teaches something new. An installation that invites exploration. A product people can discover firsthand. A performance that gives an emerging artist a stage.
Collaborations may include interactive installations, artist commissions, food and beverage experiences, wellness activities, family programming, community gifting, and original storytelling.
We build partnerships around a shared question: what can we create together that adds value for the people taking part?

CREATIVE EXPERIENCES
The Hidden Hours is our intimate Wild Minds Circle series, bringing people together for meaningful conversations in unexpected settings.
A smaller room. Space for a deeper conversation.
Circle brings founders, business owners, and executives together for intimate evenings in thoughtfully chosen settings.
With time to speak beyond a quick introduction, guests can exchange perspectives, discuss what they’re building, and get to know the people around the table. Each evening combines conversation with elements of hospitality, culture, or discovery.
The purpose is to create relationships that have a reason to continue—and conversations that give people something to take forward.
CURIOSITY STARTS EARLY
Room to play. Something new to discover.
Little Wild Minds creates opportunities for children and families to explore through hands-on activities, creative experiences, and shared discovery.
From making something with their own hands to trying a new activity, children have space to ask questions, express themselves, and discover what interests them. Parents and caregivers can participate alongside them, sharing the experience and connecting with other families.
We want to give curiosity somewhere to go—and help young minds see what they might create.
Activities and age suitability vary by experience.
Wild Minds began with a desire to bring people beyond their everyday circles and give them a place to exchange ideas.
Our past experiences have brought founders, artists, entrepreneurs, families, community leaders, and brands together through conversations, shared meals, music, and creative programming.
Each gathering helps us learn what makes people feel engaged, what sparks curiosity, and how we can create more opportunities for people to contribute and move forward.
Our experiences are made possible by sponsors, venues, artists, speakers, volunteers, and community partners who bring resources, knowledge, and imagination to the table.
Sponsor a gathering. Host an experience. Share your expertise. Create an activation that gives people something to discover.
Together, we can create spaces where people share what they bring—and find new possibilities to take forward.
The gathering ends. What it starts can keep growing.
Meeting someone who understands what you’re building can give you a reason to reconnect, exchange advice, or explore working together.
Letting people experience an idea firsthand can reveal useful questions, unexpected reactions, and feedback a founder can take into their next decision.
Trying an unfamiliar activity or meeting someone who shares their craft can spark an interest worth exploring—for a child or an adult.
These are the possibilities we create space for. As Wild Minds grows, we’ll share the stories participants bring back to us.
