Creativity CON 2012

Creativity CON 2012 is coming to Lancaster on Saturday, October 20 at The Candy Factory. This is a one-day creativity conference featuring five guest speakers who will share their stories and offer tools and resources to inspire you to Ignite Your Creative Fire. Our speakers (speaker bios here) included designer and consultant Alyson Earl, playwright and professor Erich Goldstein, Dr. Amanda Kemp, the founder and artistic director of Theatre for Transformation, Chad Martin, a pastor and potter, and blogger, actor, and author, Andrew Zahn.
Whether you’re a creative professional, student, hobbyist, or somewhere in between, there will be something to get you inspired to live your life filled with creative passion. This conference is not specific to a particular discipline. All of the presentations are relevant across the creative spectrum. And there will be time for open discussion and networking with other creatives from around the area.
Conference registration is $125, which includes conference materials, and a continental breakfast and afternoon snack. Special thanks to our sponsors for this year’s conference: The Candy Factory, Lancaster’s premiere co-working space, where working together is sweet, the Usic, the online creative co-op marketplace, and the Pennsylvania Guild of Craftsmen.
