Art of Love Conference

Art of Love Conference 2026 | The Upscale Uncomfortable Conversation

Bold. Raw. Uncensored.

The Art of Love Conference is an intentional one day gathering centered on honest conversation, community connection, and creative expression. Designed as both a pause and a push forward, ALC creates space for people to explore love in all its forms including self, community, relationships, and purpose through dialogue, art, and shared experience.

This year, we return with an elevated experience that invites you to show up fully, connect deeply, and engage in conversations that are often left unspoken.

What to Expect

• A keynote address from Anthony Cooper Sr., CEO and Founder of Focused Interruption
• A fireside chat featuring a diverse group of 12 exciting and vulnerable panelists in bold and candid dialogue
• A breakout session titled Love Unfiltered, an intimate conversation focused on community love, leadership, and lived experience
• A live artist creating throughout the conference

• The Art of Love Mixer to close the day with music, conversation, and community
