When creative entrepreneurs, artists, technologists, and cultural leaders come together, bold new ideas emerge.

CTRL+ALT+CREATE is an interactive social mixer designed to spark curiosity and collaboration—blending creative expression with innovation to move Seattle’s creative ecosystem forward across multiple economic sectors from film, fashion, and music, to arts, tech, and design.

Held during Seattle Tech Week 2025, this dynamic event brings together local creators, tech workers, and community-driven organizations for an evening of social engagement, S.T.E.A.M. experimentation, and inspiration galore.

Here's a taste of what we have in store for you:

• Be the first to tour the newly launched cultural events space, Art Love Salon, designed to enhance connection, community, and a love of the arts

• Embrace spontaneous connections set to a backdrop of curated music + great vibes

• Lite bites and beverages will keep you fueled as you mix, mingle, and explore

• Engage with interactive tech, industry speed dating + performative digital art demos through the talents and skills of our various artists and partners (see agenda for details)

• Win a prize! Raffle tickets are available for purchase including a chance to win a few of our favorite items like a complimentary ticket to WiT REGATTA Seattle 2026 ($475 value) and a $50 Gift Card to Bon Voyage Vintage in Pioneer Square.

This event isn’t just about showcasing what’s possible at the intersection of arts + tech—it’s about fostering the relationships that make those possibilities real. Whether you're a Founder looking to bring more artistry into your product, or an Artist curious about emerging tools and resourcess, CTRL+ALT+CREATE is a platform to exchange ideas, build community, and imagine new possibilities cross-functionally.
