About the speaker



🎉 Celebrate Santa Cruz's Creativity at our Release Day Party

For our event on May 29th, we’re hosting a Release Day Party.

Instead of one speaker, members of our CMSC community will be invited up to the mic to share something that they’re releasing, like an idea, project, new habit or mindset.

Each presenter will have 2 minutes to share onstage OR exhibit their work in the Atrium while folks mingle.

✌🏽 You have two choices for showcasing your work on May 29 at the MAH

🎆 GO LIVE: Get up and share your 2-minute, one slide, live presentation
🎆 SHOW & TELL: Showcase your work in the Atrium before the talks. Like a science fair!

Messy is welcome. WIPs are wonderful.

🚨 Submissions will close on May 3 at midnight!

Apply today! It only takes a minute or two.



About Release Day

On Release Day, May 29th, people around the world will share an idea, feeling, project, vision, experience, or anything that they’re ready to release into the world. It’s a collective moment to say: “Here it is.”

Release Day is a global creative deadline. Originally created by Sam Furness and Creative Quests, Release Day is a global celebration of putting your ideas out into the world. It’s designed to help you move past overthinking and finally share the thing you’ve been working on, whether it feels finished or not. By releasing together, we create momentum, accountability, and a shared sense that we’re in it together.
