World’s top creators headline Adobe MAX

“Bringing together the most brilliant and creative minds in entertainment, fashion and design – more than 10,000 people from 60 countries – MAX is an awe-inspiring experience where we explore how creativity and design are changing our world,” said Ann Lewnes, executive vice president and chief marketing officer, Adobe.

Fostering young creatives is core to Adobe’s DNA. At MAX, Adobe Project 1324, in partnership with the Sundance Institute, will celebrate the 18- to 24-year-old winners of their recent short film competition.
