Six is more than a number.
It's our history.
Last year was year 6 of PINC. That’s six years of ups and downs and testing and perfecting. It's countless hours of trials and tribulations, heartfelt moments and an array of emotions.
It’s six years that has consistently resulted in a magnificent, beautiful, and extravagant day of creativity, imagination, and awe-inspiring thought leadership.
When we first brought PINC to Sarasota in 2014, the community banded together and took a chance on this innovative, magical, and whirlwind endeavor.
Since then, the Sarasota community has become an ingrained part of the PINC family - and we plan to continue this relationship for years to come.
But… year seven will have to wait.
PINC is an entire year’s worth of hard work and planning that culminates in one magical experience at the end of the year.
It’s a day filled with magic, art, whimsy and perhaps most importantly, a deep and human connection. Without it, PINC is simply not the same.
Due to the circumstances of this year, we don’t feel we can provide the same exceptional experience as years passed - for our audience, sponsors, and speakers.
Alas, we have decided to cancel PINC this year, with plans of having it return in 2022.
In the meantime, watch the video below to understand why PINC sucks, from the perspective of our speakers. (Thanks, guys. Love you too.)
Speakers Matt and Gelareh share their firsthand experiences at PINC.
The Ringling Connection
Since the beginning, we’ve worked with the Ringling College Design Center to design everything you see the day of PINC, from the posters on the walls to the programs in your hands.
Each year, we give them one rule (and one rule only): the design must be green, black, and white. Then, we set the students free, allowing them to use their brilliant minds to create something spectacular.
With special thanks to Dr. Larry R. Thompson, the President of Ringling College, and Jennifer Mumford and Holly Antoszewski of the Design Center.
Without your guidance, none of this would be possible.

The History of PINC
After 20 years in the Netherlands, DreamLarge brought PINC to Sarasota. Since its inception, PINC has inspired global audiences with unexpected surprises and mesmerizing storytelling.
In 2014, PINC Sarasota premiered to a sold-out audience at Florida Studio Theatre. Only two years later, the event moved to the historic Sarasota Opera House to accommodate the high demand for tickets. Since its debut, PINC has cemented its reputation as Sarasota’s must-attend event of the season and the most creative day in town.
