About ICL

Moments of inspiration.
Points of departure.

Imprint Culture Lab uses these pinpoint moments to inspire movement.

Through a series of global culture conferences and interactive workshops, Imprint Culture Lab has built a wide nexus of thinkers, doers, makers of thing, poised to initiate cultural vectors. ICL is connecting the cultural dots between segment, market and industry. In doing so we initiate an infinite dialogue with you.

In ten years, our events have brought together a diverse gallery of industry darlings and blue chip heroes, to speak to an audience of next generation stars.
