Can you really increase your own unique creativity without going overboard? Yes—with 10 simple steps that anyone can follow.

Join us as Portland Creative Conference co-founder Steve Gehlen shares the lessons he’s learned from creatives like Matt Groening (The Simpsons); Dan Weiden (Weiden + Kennedy); Gus Van Sant (Good Will Hunting) and others in 10 simple steps.

Gehlen, co-founder of the Oregon Creative Industries, will explore creativity based on his work with numerous high-profile professionals in my many different disciplines. You’ll leave the evening refreshed, inspired and ready to tackle things with a new, more creative perspective.

Creativity sets you apart from your co-workers and others in the industry. Having more is good!

So please join us for an evening of learning about creativity, socializing, networking, and the awarding of the Beacon Awards, our highest honor for the outstanding communications projects of the past year.
