Create Now Los Angeles

Picture October 29, 2026 3:00 PM - 7:00 PM PDT

Make something together. Leave with something new.

Creativity is better when it's shared.

Join Adobe Create Now: Los Angeles for an afternoon of creative exploration, hands-on collaboration, and community connection.

We'll kick things off with a live demonstration of Adobe Firefly Boards, exploring how creatives can move from brief to inspiration, collaboration, and creative direction faster.

Then it's your turn.

Working in teams, you'll build a brand from scratch using a shared Adobe Firefly Board. Discover how AI can help surface ideas, accelerate exploration, and remove friction while keeping you firmly in the creative driver's seat.

Because AI isn't making the design. You are.

Along the way, enjoy food, drinks, creative conversations, and opportunities to connect with LA's creative community.

*Please bring a laptop to fully participate.*
