About EPIC

EPIC is the essential community and conference of practitioners using an ethnographic lens for sensemaking and transformation.

Working in every sector and industry, EPIC members help organizations make strategic decisions, create value, and navigate uncertainty by understanding people within cultural ecosystems.

“EPIC is one of the most welcoming and inspiring professional communities out there.”

EPIC Community

EPIC People are researchers, designers, strategists, marketers, engineers, entrepreneurs, executives, scholars, students, and more. We represent a wide range of disciplines, from the social sciences and humanities to design, business, and computer science. This diversity enables learning and creative thinking across silos, expands our expertise, and broadens the impact of our work.

EPIC supports the learning and leadership of our members through our annual conference, online talks and seminars, courses and tutorials, meet-ups, mentoring, equity initiatives, and our Job Board.

EPIC Conference

Our conference experience offers expertise and skills you need, as well as inspiration and provocations that open new horizons. We come together to:

  • Learn theory and practical methods to excel in our work and lead change in our organizations and communities
  • Explore social dynamics and cultural contexts that shape organizations, products, services and practices
  • Find new inspiration and space for reflection that are so critical to transformative work—but so difficult to access in the hustle of daily commitments
  • Build lasting connections and networks that we need to thrive as people and professionals

EPIC attendees say they feel like they’ve finally found “their people”; they also say they were inspired by unexpected people and new perspectives. This is the rich quality of a community dedicated to sharing, learning, debating, and evolving together in a changing world.
