CreatorTech.net: At the Crossroads of Creativity & Emerging Tech (like AI)
October 29 @ 12:00 pm – 5:00 pm
This a great event to come meet local creators, creatives, & technologists. We’re coordinating space for all of us to collaborate, share ideas, and work together.
Who?
Are you a Seattle-area content creator (full, part time, or casual) looking to connect with other creators – YouTube, Twitch, Instagram, podcasting, or beyond?
Are you a developer or startup who is either offering or looking to offer products or services that benefit creators, creatives, entrepreneurs (including independent entrepreneurial creators)?
What?
This is an event series at the crossroads of creativity and technology – where creators connect with peers in-person and learn about new solutions to help solve problems in their creative pursuits.
How?
Creators will be invited to share their ideas and pitches for possible platforms they’d love to use, and developers / entrepreneurs will hear directly from their intended market for product fit.
Startups / companies / developers will be able to showcase their current products / projects throughout the space, inviting everybody to see what they’re doing and to elicit feedback.
Why?
Creators need better (more!) opportunities to discover new technology that can support their endeavors, and developers / entrepreneurs need to talk with real creators & creatives to find product market fit faster.
Format
@ 11am: People are welcome to start coming in, set up at a table if they have something to share or showcase, and begin to network.
@ Noon: Developers / Startups will be given ~5 minutes on the mic to show everybody what it is that they’re working on, and what they are most hoping to get out of this event.
@ 1pm: Creators will be given ~5 minutes on the mic to tell everybody an idea they might’ve had (for a product / service that doesn’t yet exist – or doesn’t yet exist on their terms with their expectations).
@ 2pm – 5pm: Everybody’s encouraged to connect with others, start conversations, and learn something they didn’t know before from someone they’ve never met.
@???: We will stage a conversation between the host (Chris Pirillo) and a participant who brings with them experience to benefit others. TBD.
