FL Creatives 19: History of Florida Creatives

This is an abbreviated history of the first few years of Florida Creatives - including some stuff that inspired me to create the first Happy Hour in Orlando, and the folks who were very instrumental in getting the group started and keeping things healthy.

Several of the events and people surrounding the first BlogOrlando brought about many of the things we hold dear today, such as:

Florida Creatives Happy Hour
Likemind Orlando
Coworking Tuesdays
BarCamp Orlando
...and many other communities and events

BlogOrlando was really the event that kicked Florida Creatives out of the minds of the collective and into reality. Don't believe me? Watch this video. Yours truly has the full explanation of how it all went down.

Recorded at the first Pecha Kucha Night in Jacksonville.
