CreativeMornings Summit

Brooklyn, NY ~ October, 2014

By Jérémie Fontana

54 hours of pure awesomeness

Early october, most of CreativeMornings organizers (from all over the world) gathered in Brooklyn, NY, for the very first CreativeMornings Summit.

I was there with my team from CreativeMornings/Geneva, and here are some moments I captured…

Pre-summit Drinks

Just bring a viking helmet and some other cool stuff, and let the magic happen…

A little screen-print workshop

It’s Instagram time!

The great team of CreativeMornings’ HQ.

Carly, Sally, Tina and Kevin. These guys are the soul of this fantastic community.

Day 1

Let’s start!

Hosts from LA, Baltimore, Johannesburg, Auckland, Berlin, Edmonton, Bogotá, Atlanta, Cap Town, Lima and other cities jumped on stage to share their stories

Canada rocked the stage with the teams from Montréal & Vancouver

The coffee/lunch breaks were perfect to meet all these great people from all over the world and talk about our good and bad experiences (and no, the waiting line was not that terrible :)

An interlude full of energy, with the amazing Flex dancers from Brooklyn, NY

We were lucky to have some very special guests: Sarah Key & Debbie Millman

We finished this first day at Shutterstock NY (one of our great global partners) for a nice after-party, and they even invited us to tag their wall… :)

Here’s Norbert, team Montréal’s mascot :)

Day 2

Starting this second day with Steve Powers’ talk for CreativeMornings/NYC at MoMA

The Fantastic Four

The groovy Kevin, aka “Master of Ceremony”

The powerful Sally, aka “CM hosts’ best friend & sister”

Bring some blank napkins & sharpies in a room full of creative people, and let the magic happen…

Yes, CreativeMornings rocks!

The whole afternoon was all about brainstorming on the future of CreativeMornings, with the help of Fred Dust and his great team from IDEO

My teammates from Geneva… maybe brainstorming on how to conquer the world :)

Here’s a little bit of this summit’s craziness... (yes, this is a giant CreativeMornings logo made of mini-cupcakes!… :)
