In mid-June, the Transformations 2021 conference took place with more than 600 participants from across the globe. Dot Connector Studio’s Jessica Clark gave an opening keynote speech addressing the issue of “Building Equitable Media for Regenerative Futures.”

Now that the report is out in the world, we’re excited about the prospect of working on projects in the tech and art sphere with a new batch of clients.
