The much-anticipated PINC Experience returns to the Sarasota Opera House on December 7th, spearheaded by neighbors and community enthusiasts, Anand Pallegar and Julie Groom. With its roots in fostering innovation and artistic expression, PINC, presented by DreamLarge, the All-Star Children’s Foundation, and Ringling College of Art & Design, continues to be a transformative event in Sarasota, a city steeped in creativity and communal spirit.

This year, the experience is poised to unite a diverse array of individuals, including world-class speakers, artists, and musicians, bolstering its mission to promote creativity, connection, and community. Among the eminent speakers are Zion Clark, an All-American wrestler and inspiring figure, and Robert Swan, an environmentalist and the first person to walk both Poles. Clark’s awe-inspiring journey is seen on platforms like Netflix and America’s Got Talent, while Swan’s commitment to the planet emphasizes the innovative essence of PINC.

PINC's legacy in the Sarasota community since 2014 has been unparalleled, acting as a catalyst for cultural innovation and collaboration.

Pallegar and Groom, key organizers, and Stroll Southside Village neighbors, bring their passion for community development to the forefront, revitalizing this years’ experience and focusing on transforming Sarasota into a hub of inspiration and unity.

This collaborative ethos of PINC, along with its engaging dialogues and collaborations, are enhancing Sarasota’s social fabric, filling cultural voids, and establishing a profound sense of belonging.
