**Seth Bunting **is a creative director and community organizer with a background in ontological design, brand & story, immersive technology, open-sourced innovation, media production, live events, & culture. He is currently a Partner and Strategist at Presence, an immersive entertainment group based in Los Angeles, focusing on redesigning social environments, the culture of human connection. [1]

Bunting had previously worked in experiential design in Empact Labs, where he created educational experiences with virtual, augmented, and mixed-reality content.

In his own words:

I believe that shared experiences fire off a community, and a pulse and repetition in those experiences is what drives better sense making within the commons. I believe that communities are grown, not built - and they require consistent locations, committed operators, and experienced organizers to sustain. [1]
