The COVID-19 pandemic brought with it myriad uncertanties regarding the way people could connect to one another and rendered AFCI unable to host an in-person event. However, despite the challenges and uncharted territory of moving the industry's largest event online, Creativation shifted to a virtual space and became Creativation+ in partnership with the International Art Materials Association.  With over 30 education sessions and a plethora of workshops, Creativation+ successfully brought what was normally an in-person experience online and afforded attendees networking opportunities comparable to an in-person event. Below are some highlights from the show, including award winners and AFCI's Hall of Fame inductees.
