Cre8Camp Portland 

Cre8Camp Portland is an unconference for creatives. It is an ad-hoc gathering for participants to learn, network and share in an open environment with discussions, demos and interaction all led by the attendees. 

Cre8Camp Portland is affiliated with the new Creative Conference (Cre8Con), happening in Portland on Sept. 6th.  Both are non-profit community-based projects.

 

Thanks to everyone who made the inaugural Cre8Camp a great success, exceeding our expectations.  Turns out that #Cre8Camp was the #2 mention on Twitter that day!  More later...
