AI & The Culture IRL: Character Consistency Lab
🎭 AI & The Culture: Character Consistency Lab
In Partnership with Salesforce's community Boldforce, Hypernatural & Willie B. Studios
AI & The Culture is back in the building — and this time we’re diving deep into character consistency in the age of AI.
Join us on Thursday, March 19th, 2026 at Salesforce HQ in New York City for a hands-on creative lab designed for storytellers, technologists, designers, filmmakers, marketers, and culturally rooted creatives who are ready to level up how their characters show up across mediums.
Because in this era?
Your character isn’t just an image. It’s a system. It’s a brand. It’s a world.
And we’re learning how to build that — together.
No gatekeeping. No ego. Just tools + community.
💡 What We’re Exploring
✨ What “character consistency” really means in AI workflows
✨ Maintaining visual identity across prompts and platforms
✨ Aligning story, tone, and design across outputs
✨ Live demos + guided experimentation
✨ Practical techniques you can apply immediately
Whether you're building digital avatars, short films, branded content, speculative worlds, or narrative IP — this session is about cohesion, clarity, and creative control.
Beginner-friendly. Creatively rich. Execution-focused.
🤝 Powered by Partners Who Believe in Access
We’re proud to collaborate with sponsors who are investing in community, representation, and hands-on experimentation.
