CREATIVE BOOTCAMP 2025
“Breakpoint”
Breakpoint is where comfort ends and transformation begins. IntersectLA’s high-impact annual Creative Bootcamp returns in 2025 with a theme that challenges participants to confront their limits and rethink how they take on their future. When it’s time to move forward, Breakpoint offers new perspectives that make meaningful change possible. Through workshops, collaborative challenges, guest speakers, and hands-on experiences, our team will gain practical tools, fresh insights, and the confidence to move forward with purpose. It’s a reminder that change is often positive, should be embraced, and is more than likely inevitable. More than inspiration, Breakpoint is a space for deep creative recalibration. Bootcamp is a long-standing tradition at IntersectLA, and a pivotal experience for those ready to grow by stepping outside their comfort zone. Welcome to Breakpoint—the threshold where progress begins.
