Ten reasons.to…

With short deadlines, demanding clients and bills to pay, the cost of attending a creative inspirational event and taking a few days out of the office can be a big challenge.

Rob from Reasons to be Creative lists his top ten reasons why the numbers add up:

1. Inspirations – this year has such an awesome line up of speakers – including Fabio Sasso, Erik Spiekermann and Stefan Sagmeister to name just 3 of the 30 plus speakers slated. Not often you’ll get such a line-up in one place.
2. Down time – when was the last time you took a few days out of the office to recharge your creative batteries? 3 days every year is what? 1% of your working time?
3. Meeting up – if you’re part of a multi-national or a sole trader, making new connections or rekindling old is sooo important for sooo many reasons.
4. Get stuff – this year we’re partnering up with a few v cool brands including Adobe, Moo and Red Bull to name a few, we don’t know what they will have, but we’re sure it’ll be something cool – However we do know that Moo are offering free mini-cards for all attendees!!!
5. Brighton is such a cool place – We do love to be beside the seaside. Just imagine getting out of your steamy city centre and escape to the cool sea breeze… Trains, planes and automobile links are numerous and fast. Mmmmmm.
6. Learn stuff – as well as the main sessions where you’ll pick up hints & tips on all sorts of stuff, we also have three awesome workshops from Stefan Sagmeister, Brad Frost and Hellicar & Lewis – Stefan’s one is sold out, but a few tickets are still about for the other two.
7. It’s fully curated – the sessions are all curated and no-one gets to be onstage unless they have passed John’s “Oh! that’s cool!” test.
8. Be involved – we’re committed to opening the doors to like-minded types who want to get involved – The Elevator Pitches are our open mic speaker sessions, there are a few Fringe Events and this year we have a Start-Up Marketplace – a very low cost way to show cool kit off.
9. See the new kids – we’re partnering with the Uni’s and colleges around the area to help promote their awesome grads. If you’re looking for new blood, it’s a good opportunity to meet some of the best.
10. Mixing graphic, visual and coding in a creative pot – we’ve consciously not tagged sessions as “this” or “that”, as we really want you to stumble on subjects never considered before. Exploration and discovery is all part of the gig.
