JUNE / ONE OF 13 THEMES
Fathers of Change is one of Wildcard’s 13 themes, introduced in June 2024. Its evolution into Dad Mode returns to that June theme through presence, responsibility, and everyday choices. This is one thread within the larger cycle—not the whole of Wildcard.

Different settings call for different experiences. Our team shapes the format around the people, the place, and what you want to explore.
YOUR WAY IN / HOST
From a one-night activation to a multi-day experience, shape Wildcard around your space, audience, and goals.

Your space, audience, and goals. We work through timing, access, staffing, and any food or drink arrangements together.
Prompt design, materials, facilitation, collective artwork, and a plan for documenting contributions.
Tell us about your spaceTypical activations range from $1.5K–$5K+, with reduced rates available for universities and nonprofits. Format and scope are discussed before a proposal.
YOUR WAY IN / VENDORS & CREATORS
In formats with Vibe Tokens, participants can earn rewards while local vendors contribute products, services, or experiences.
Vendor rewards are planned within a pre-allocated experience budget. Partners are compensated in real dollars; the event defines eligible rewards and redemption terms.

THE CULTURAL ARCHIVE / EXPLORE BEYOND THE ROOM05 / WHAT WE SHARE CAN KEEP TEACHING US
The Cultural Archive brings contributed reflections together across themes, events, and places. Return to a question. Discover another perspective. See how the conversation changes.
For hosts, this creates a way to explore participation beyond attendance alone. Discuss the questions, documentation, and reporting you need with our team.

FROM THE ROOM TO THE ARCHIVE
Participation, documentation, digital exploration, and the living archive each play a different role.
THERE IS A PLACE FOR YOUR PERSPECTIVE
