Everyone who makes things needs other people - for ideas, motivation, or as patrons to support his or her creative endeavors. This website aims to act as the online means of organizing real-life meetup groups that help our members locate and collaborate with a support network. Florida Creatives Happy Hours are for professionals, hobbyists, entrepreneurs, consultants and everyone else too - no matter what your creative pursuit is. Our wiki holds links to local resources across the state, and our 9 regional groups on Facebook and LinkedIn are a great way to connect with likeminded people who live in your backyard.

It's been another successful year of the 48 hour film project and it's time check them out and find a winner!
What is the 48 hour film project, you ask?
Each year, hundreds of locals get together to write, shoot, edit, and produce a 4 to 7 minute movie over well...48 hours. Teams gathered at Oviedo High School Friday night to get their film genre. It could be from anywhere to drama to thriller to comedy to mockumentary or even romance. From there they were off on a mad dash to meet the 7:30 PM deadline Sunday evening.
Please join us Thursday, August 26th at 6 PM at the Plaza Cinema Café in downtown Orlando to see all the fantastic films on the big screen!

The topics and the presenters are diverse, but will appeal to anyone who works (or has an interest) in technology and the internet. This is an event for web designers, developers, marketers, copy writers, SEOs, sys admins and anyone who operates a business with a web presence to get together and share their knowledge.
The schedule starts BLANK in the morning and is filled up by attendees that want to do a presentation.
