A NIGHT TO REMEMBER

The Grand Prix Círculo Creativo 25 Years made its debut in Dallas — and it couldn’t have started better.

The energy was electric, the competition fierce, and the sense of unity unmistakable.

It was a night where the creative community came together to celebrate ideas, connection, and 25 years of creativity in motion.

Guests learned, raced, laughed, and cheered through an unforgettable evening filled with inspiration and adrenaline. Between laps and laughter, everyone shared what this industry is truly about: passion, collaboration, and pushing boundaries.

WORLD-CLASS SPEAKERS. LIMITLESS INSPIRATION.

The evening featured an outstanding panel of gaming and creativity experts who shared powerful insights about the evolving world of entertainment, technology, and storytelling:

🎮 Thomas Kappel, Director of Sales at GameSquare
🎮 Sami Barnett, Head of Gaming at TMA
🎮 Andrew Robinson, Director of Brand Solutions at OpTic Gaming
🎮 John Hardie, Co-founder & Director at the National Videogame Museum

Their conversation connected the worlds of creativity, culture, and innovation — leaving the audience inspired and ready to race forward with new ideas.

THE EXPERIENCE

Two professional F1 simulators brought the thrill of competition to life. Agencies and creatives raced head-to-head, fighting for the best lap time while enjoying drinks, music, and the best of the Dallas creative scene.

Laughter, cheering, and the sound of engines filled the air — turning the venue into a true celebration of creativity at full speed.

THANK YOU, DALLAS

Huge thanks to everyone who joined and made this kickoff an unforgettable milestone — to our speakers, and every creative who jumped behind the wheel and made history with us.

And of course, to our sponsors: AMS Pictures, Cut+Run, Shotcaller media, Thrive, V-racer and C2B.

This was only the first lap of a five-city circuit that will unite our community across the country.

📍 Next stop: Los Angeles — Friday, November 21 — 6:00 PM.
The race continues. Don’t get left behind.

DALLAS WINNERS
