Tickets for PINC Experience drop Thursday, Oct. 15, at noon. Thanks to the generosity of this year's parters, for the first 24 hours, they'll be offered for the lowest prices you'll ever see. Rates increase October 16, so be sure to set your alarm!
On Thursday, Dec. 10, 2026, PINC Experience returns to the Sarasota Opera House for a full day of community, creativity and connection.
PINC explores ideas around People, Ideas, Nature and Community. It's a favorite event for many Sarasotans, who swap their normal Thursday routines for PINC's "bubble bath for the brain"—a day of wonder, discovery and inspiration featuring an incredible roster of speakers from around the world.

Last year's topics included protecting the earth's rarest sources of pigment, the science behind finding purpose, protecting children from AI and showing them the joy in real-life human connection, the importance of caring for forgotten gravestones, how to make homes more disaster resilient—and even how to sculpt cheese.
We're not quite ready to announce this year's lineup—stay tuned for that!— but can tell you that the slate of presenters taking the Sarasota Opera Stage on Dec. 10 will offer new ways to think about the world. We can't wait to tell you more about them.
In the meantime, here's what else you can expect from this year's event.
PINC Afterparty
What's better than a day full of new ideas? An evening of talking about them at our annual PINC Afterparty at the Sarasota Modern Hotel. Held poolside and featuring creative cocktails and live music, it's the perfect end to an inspiring day and open to all PINC attendees, volunteers and speakers.

PINC Ideas Dinner
On Friday, Dec. 11, the PINC Ideas Dinner returns to the Rosemary Art and Design District for an outdoor dinner party centered around meaningful conversation, ideas and, of course, delicious food. Historically one of the most beautiful Fridays of the year, it's an opportunity to enjoy a beautiful Sarasota night under the stars and continue to connect with PINC attendees and speakers. You'll be thinking about it long after the plates are cleared.
