Members include creative professionals, social entrepreneurs, artists, students, event planners, community leaders, philanthropists, and non-profits. Creativity Moves Nashville will be held in Nashville, TN, May 24-27. Creativity Moves is an initiative of Playing By Air Productions and High-Wired Communities, in partnership with local leaders.

Playing By Air Productions offers full-length stage productions, variety acts, and high-energy, creative entertainment for corporate meetings and special events. Event attendees and local communities are given an opportunity to join together through an experience filled with creativity, collaboration, and fun! With every corporate event performance, Playing By Air donates an appearance to a cancer support non-profit organization. Playing By Air represents the power of collaboration between the arts and medicine, between corporate and non-profit partners, and among community leaders. Companies, associations, and event planners use Playing By Air's experience and expertise to convey their message and motivate their audiences. Perfect for headline shows, conferences, trade-show exhibits, product launches, special events, promotions, experiential marketing, and team building. The creative team customizes each performance to create a memorable experience for each audience.
