“Rather than an exhibition hall of business resources, we will now offer Mix & Assemble Lunchtime Roundtables, so that attendees may share their topical inquiries with a leading expert and smaller groups of like-minded professionals,” Create Denver’s Lisa Gedgaudas notes. “We hope to connect closely with our audience by providing more interactive and engaging working sessions, paring down the number of offerings and refining topics to suit multiple types of creative businesses.”
Some of the highlights include a keynote, “Artists in Changing Times,” with Colleen Keegan of New York City’s Creative Capital, and a two-hour #InsideDenver networking reception from 4 to 6 p.m., which will offer “a way for attendees to regroup, remix, receive a hash-tag, interact live with Twitter, create ‘restart’ buttons and get other swag while enjoying food and beverages, including a specially cu-rated beer by Wynkoop,” says Gedgaudas.
Things get going bright and early at 9 a.m. at the McNichols Building, 144 West Colfax Avenue, so be there or be square. Register in advance for $15 (lunch from Mad Greens is included) or walk up and pay $10 at the door (you’re on your own for lunch); check out artsandvenuesdenver.com for a full listing of workshops and programs.
