The 2015 Portland Creative Conference delivered on its mission to challenge us with excellent, inspiring presentations. The speakers were from wonderfully varied backgrounds and uniformly engaging and talented and open to the audience.
— Elaine Spooner, 20th Century Fox Television
The Creative Conference is proof that you can gain inspiration from just about anywhere or anyone! There was such a wide range of speakers, all with different creative backgrounds but the single line of truth was that we all seek phenomenal creativity and inspiration but experience it in different ways. This idea is a common thread in our life as artists and creative professionals. I thoroughly enjoyed it and hope to return year after year.

This was my first time attending and I was blown away. I came away inspired, refreshed and entertained. This is a great event for all creative types – art, graphics, film/video, music, theater, writing and everything in between. It’s wonderful to see all the amazing work out there and hear everyone’s story.
— Jilayne Jordan, Communications Specialist, City of Vancouver
This was a conference packed with kindred creatives, some out of the gate, many on the road to success, others who had achieved great success and were refreshingly accessible to conference attendees. I left energized and grateful for a conference of this caliber that drew so many amazing people.
