Agenda

How do different disciplines solve the same game-breaking problem — and what happens when bias enters the room? In this candid collaborative session, five Black professionals across narrative, systems, production, and executive roles explore how design decisions get made under pressure. Using real-world examples, panelists reflect on how their roles approach challenges differently and how cultural perspectives shape creative collaboration. This isn't about performing the right answer — it's about surfacing the real thinking behind cross-functional problem-solving. Attendees will gain insight into both technical trade-offs and social dynamics that affect every team. A must-attend for anyone interested in leadership, inclusion, or surviving late-stage development with your design integrity intact.
