Each year, Underscore VC holds their Core Summit event that brings together their “Core Community” which is made up of 600+ founders, CEOs, executives, rising stars, co-investors, and limited partners from the Boston startup ecosystem and beyond. This half-day conference creates curated opportunities to connect, workshop ideas, and swap stories.

Challenge
2023 was the first year the event had been in-person since COVID had moved it to a digital platform so it had to be special. Underscore wanted Core Summit to be memorable and energizing, and needed visual identity and design that brought those goals to life. 

Solution
We collaborated with Underscore on nearly every aspect of the Core Summit event, from branding and design direction to digital save-the-date design to huge physical graphics, to create an experience and environment that celebrated the return of the event and its attendees.
