Poster Contest for Creative Conference

CREATIVEMIX - Vancouver's Ideation Conference

This conference is for everyone who depends on their creative output-whether it’s a small or big part of their work. The goal is to help you take your creativity to the next level! We believe that the next level can be achieved through the collaboration and inspiration that comes from learning and working outside the box.

CREATIVEMIX is strategically designed to attract creative professionals, bringing them together in an atmosphere of collaboration. The program will consist of 8 speakers, from various industries, who will share how they foster and manage creativity, fan new ideas into flame, and promote the cross-pollination of creative concepts among different types of people and projects. There will be 2 workshops (ideas+collaboration and action+planning).

CREATIVEMIX attracts people from the following industries (but not limited to): Animation & Digital Arts, Advertising & Marketing, Photography, Fine Art, Architecture & Design, Fashion, Film & TV, Theatre & Performing Arts, Music, Culinary Arts and, yes, even Business.

It's attend by an even blend of men and women, ages 20-45. They are emerging or professional creatives who live in, or around, Vancouver, Canada.

So often creatives gather to hone their technical craft; however, skills are simply not enough. It is one thing to plan and deliver on a great idea, but it’s the innovator who stands apart from the crowd. By leaving your skills at the door and focusing on expanding your creativity, you’ll gain inspiration and a new mindset around this invaluable medium. This conference will truly give you the best of both worlds: a jolt of creative energy and new tools to bring your ideas into reality.
