About Cre8Camp

Cre8Camp is a non-profit unconference for creative industries professionals. It is an ad-hoc gathering for participants in the creative economy ecosystem to learn, network and share in an open environment led by the attendees. The magic happens in the interactions between participants. Cre8Camp is affiliated with the Portland Creative Conference (Cre8Con) and Oregon Creative Industries.
