Harnessing Your Creative Power

Tap into your creativity in this dynamic, hands-on keynote! You’ll learn how to generate ideas, collaborate with others, and bring your creative vision to life through music, culminating in the creation and live recording of an original song inspired by the NCPG mission to lead awareness and advocacy efforts to reduce gambling-related harm. Led by award-nominated songwriters Rusty Tabor and Skye Claire, along with experienced songwriter-facilitators, this session draws on their work with artists including Kelly Clarkson, Brad Paisley, Blake Shelton, Reba McEntire, Air Supply, and more. Experience the thrill of songwriting, see your ideas come to life, and leave with a unique musical creation that reflects the values of the NCPG community.
