Freelance Creative Monsters take Chicago June 23-24 2011

Last year while at the Creative Freelancer Conference in Denver I was having breakfast with some of my favorite creatives and talking about how it would be so cool to be able to sit in the airport or on the plane and spot other CFC attendees. Ilise Benun o f Marketing Mentor looked up at me and smiled. I knew exactly what she was thinking (creative minds think alike) and I quickly made a voice memo on my phone. Almost a year later she called me and reminded me of this moment and wondered of I'd still be up for the task. The task? Create a cool one-of-a-kind shirt that people who are attending the conference could wear and not only be spotted in the airport but show their support of the conference, the industry and most importantly one another.

One thing I always take with me and keeps me coming back to CFC year after year is the camaraderie. I have had the pleasure of meeting some of the most creative people on the planet and have made some amazing friendships because of CFC. Year after year I add a few more connections to my list and treasure each one. Although we tend to get pretty busy throughout the year and don't have time to talk much CFC has become a much need reunion for us all.

With the conference just days away there is still time to order your Freelance Creative Monster shirt to wear to CFC or at the morning netwalking hosted by Ilise Benun.

Although I won't be attending the conference this year, (We have yet another baby coming) I will be thinking of all my creative friends and hope the conference is as much fun for everyone this year as it has been for me the past three years.

Have a great conference!

Peace,
