RE:DESIGN/Creative Directors Portland

What happens when you put a bunch of creative directors in a room, throw in a few sangrias, and tell them to talk to each other? Magic, baby, pure magic. For RE:DESIGN/Creative Directors, we feature sessions by leading creative directors. We focus on small-scale peer-based conversations, so we limit the number of attendees to 150. The result is two days of interacting with a stellar group of fellow creative directors. On October 29–30 we’re taking the talks to Portland, Oregon at the Kennedy School.

We are pleased to announce our Symposiarch for this event, Eric Heiman and our theme: “Back to School: The (Re)Education of the Creative Director.” Digital technology, social networking, social change. The landscape of design and advertising is evolving constantly and irrevocably. What’s new? What’s the same? What must we let go of? What do we need to (re)learn? Your (re)education begins here.
