Oregon Creative Industries: Update on this trade association that was born at the first Cre8Camp
Creating from within
Driving brand business to Portland to tap the Creative market
Getting local groups to talk to each other. Too many tiny professional organizations whose volunteers recreate the wheel
Overcoming obstacles
human behavior, psychology and motivation - why people do what they do and use the products they use
Staying organized
How to flesh out ideas
How to tell a story
social media journalism, web TV, independent filmmaking, webcasting
Specialization vs. Generalization
Being your own Career Coach
Getting inspired
Collaborative Projects
DIY Filmmaking in Portland
Forming a "creative co-op" work environment
What is the proper amount of training/education, for what tasks?
Creative Social Media Ideas
Social media strategy integration between a website blog, Twitter, Facebook and Linked-In using RSS feeds.
I'm interested in forming a "creative co-op" work environment. It's still just a fledgling idea, so I'm hoping this unconference will help the idea take flight.
Paper and interactive prototyping
Enhanced e-books
Understanding Transmedia
Tools of the Creative Trade
