We’re excited to announce the next Cre8Camp, our series of unconferences for creative industries professionals. Cre8Camp Portland 4 takes place on Saturday, Sept. 25th from 10:00am – 3:00pm at the Art Institute of Portland.
For those who haven’t been to an unconference before, these events differ from traditional conferences because the attendees create the agenda of discussion topics for the day, anyone can lead a discussion topic and everyone participates in the discussions.
The non-profit event costs only $15 to attend and lunch is included with that price. You can register here.
Our first three Cre8Camps have been well-attended and the feedback has been fantastic. Cre8Camp is produced in partnership with Oregon Creative Industries.

Due to the challenging economic times, both in terms of cost to produce the event, and the cost to attend, the Portland Creative Conference will return again at full steam Fall 2011.
Meanwhile, we will be producing some exciting, more intimate events, so stay tuned and we’ll make announcements soon.
We’ve been saying it for years, “The Portland Creative Conference is a lightening rod for inspiration, innovation and brilliant ideas.” And now those in the know are saying it for us.
The Portland Creative Conference just made this year’s top ten list for “boundary-spanning, silo-busting events.” You’ll find it at Brain Pickings, a website created by cultural curator and digital anthropologist, Maria Popova.
Our name now appears on, what Popova describes as, “a veritable who’s-who list of 21st-century change-makers whose fundamental mission is to provide a broadly-curated experience for the curious.”
To compile her list, Popova throws a wide net from California to the New York island (this year it also included Munich and Amsterdam) in search of events that foster a cross-pollination of ideas—ideas that allow us to get a fresh perspective that can enrich and strengthen our own work. She also listens to recommendations from her sizable and savvy audience.
Popova has bylines in Wired UK, GOOD Magazine, Brand Week and Business Week, and her content at Brain Pickings is as eclectic as the Portland Creative Conference. Since our early beginnings in 1990, our speakers have shared insight and ideas from a broad creative spectrum including everything from advertising, film, television, writing, design, and animation to poster art, performance art, and more.
