The highly-attended premiere of Creative Mornings in Chicago proves inspiring, thanks to a motivating talk by Jim Coudal, of Coudal Partners

I volunteered this morning to open the door and greet the flood of creatives eager to attend today’s Creative Mornings, a monthly breakfast lecture series currently hosted in five cities across the globe: Zurich, Los Angeles, New York, San Francisco and now Chicago. This was the first one held in Chicago, organized by one of my best friends and industry pro, Mig Reyes, who works for the rockin’ tee-shirt company we all know and love: Threadless. The event is free and open to all creatives looking for some perspective from leaders in the industry. Plus, there’s coffee and breakfast for all!

A new weekly summer tradition starts at the office.

This week we started something new: Lunch-n-Learn Thursdays. If the first installment of this new tradition is any indication, Thursday lunches should be a fun—and tasty—time at Mightybytes.

Joy and Tim recently presented at the Chicago Area Adobe User Group monthly meetup on the topic of transition from print to web and digital design, an intimidating prospect for many print-based designers.

Showcasing techniques and lessons learned from past Mightybytes projects, they provided valuable insights to a packed house of enthusiastic art directors, designers, and other industry pros at Ascend Training’s downtown location. Here are some of the take-aways from that presentation.

Last week I attended Bridgeline Digital’s “Content Revolution Tour” and learned how to build a better content strategy. Here are three key take-aways.

Bridgeline Digital, the host of the Content Revolution Tour, invited people to join Content Marketing Experts Ann Handley (Chief Content Officer at MarketingProfs) and Becki Dilworth (Vice President of Digital Strategy at Bridgeline Digital) for a one-hour breakfast strategy jam session. The goal: learn to build a successful content marketing program.

Last week, most of our crew from Mightybytes ventured down to the Sheraton Hotel and Towers to satiate our Drupal appetites. Here’s what we learned.

The three day event brought in thousands of Drupal users, developers, designers, evaluators and businesspeople from around the world. There were information sessions, talks, code sprints, events, excellent keynotes every day by industry leaders, and even a fashion show. Read on to discover what we took away from this great event.
