Let's cut to the chase — networking is hard. In a world where tweets have replaced business cards, getting facetime with folks can be more rare than a DM on Twitter. So, instead of relying on crossed fingers and good vibes, why not ditch lady luck in lieu of real, game-changing action: a.k.a. the cool girl's version of a caucus?
Creative + Cultivate, founded by No Subject (a marketing-slash-branding business that focuses on all things trendy), is a one-day collective of the city's most influential bloggers, craftsmen, and tastemakers — all under one roof to try and, you guessed it, cultivate creativity. This year's event will take place at The Standard Hotel, Downtown, and will feature workshops, presentations, and delicious dining opportunities (did we hear "Biergarten pretzels"?!).
