Florida Creatives - Creating a Community of Innovation

If you haven't already been following... here is an official post for tomorrow's beer, coffee and more meet-up at Brew Urban Cafe. No obligations or expectations, just come grab a beer and hang out with the creative talent of South Florida. The details are below.

SOUTH FLORIDA Creative Meetup
August 18th at 6:30pm
Brew Urban Cafe in Ft. Lauderdale on US1
http://www.brewurbancafe.com/locations/vicpark.php

We are in the process of putting together a creative meetup for ALL South Florida creatives to show their face. We are calling it a creative summit, because we know just as much as you do that it's going to be like climbing F-ing Everest to get us creative types to show up.

What we have so far:
(1) Several Ideal locations that can be scalable to any size.
(2) A Kick Ass presentation on a new independent vs. agency working model that's rocks.
(3) FREE microbrew beer and coffee for everyone that is in attendance.

What we need:
(1) A couple of other Creatives that want to help select the best location and share local spots these mythical creative types gather so we can get everybody on the same page
(2) Anyone else that wants to present something within 2 min window of time.

Feel Free to add more categories and groups/links to this list as you see fit, that's why we have a wiki. If groups meet on consistent dates and locations (i.e. third Mondays @ Crooked Bayou, Central Ave downtown), specify what you can.

Since the beginning of Florida Creatives, the people have always clambered for a place to post and seek jobs. In the past, I have used the FLCreatives blog for this purpose, or some folks have used the Google Groups list: those days are over.
