What is the CatchLight Visual Storytelling Summit?

Every spring, CatchLight gathers leaders in the fields of visual storytelling, technology, and media for our annual Visual Storytelling Summit. We welcome speakers from across the globe to discuss some of the most pressing issues of our time and how visual storytellers can help drive meaningful change both locally and globally.

We have seen the power of artificial intelligence to push the boundaries of truth and consciousness alike.

But we are also reminded why human storytellers can never be replaced.

The realities we convey aim to mobilize communities.

The Summit, as you will see, is about fostering a better understanding of the world and creating pathways for visual storytellers to do this critical work.
