Workshops

This year we have added 4 workshops affiliated with Cre8con that will take place on Saturday, September 28th, the day after the Conference.

NOTE: Workshop tickets are separate from the tickets for the main Cre8con event on Friday, September 27th.  In other words, registration for the main Cre8con event DOES NOT INCLUDE workshop admission.

Join us for an interactive discussion to continue making creative connections started at Cre8con, using this opportunity in time to brainstorm and discuss ideas for how to keep the cross-industry networking going, both in-person and online.  Our goal is to come away with specific action items and volunteer leaders to help make it happen.
