The April meeting was a smashing success. Many thanks to the wonderful folks at Brothers Drake for having us.  (They also do Drink & Draw in partnership with Rivet Gallery and a once-monthly creative mixer on the first Monday of the month - called Motive.)

So - what's coming up?


Tuesday, May 14th
- Behance Portfolio Review!
We'll be partnering with Behance to make your portfolio or demo reel even better than it already is.  We're inviting local creative (rockstar) professionals to sit down and chat with you about your work. We're estimating 1 pro to 10 people.  You'll share your portfolio in a small group (It can be projected, on a display or in print - depending on what kind of portfolio it is. The rule is - come prepared as you would for a job interview.) 

In order to receive a review, you've got to sign up!  SO sign up here.

6PM @ the Columbus Idea Foundry.

We'll also have a recap on Adobe MAX, some more books from O'Reilly to give away and other swag.


Tuesday, June 5th
We're back at Brothers Drake - meeting topic still in the works.  Oh yeah - and we give out the $2100 in software that evening. (Reminder, every meeting you come to gets you additional entries into the drawing.)
Happy hour @ 6pm
Meeting starts @ 7pm
