For two years, Create WV has gathered leaders and interested citizens from business, education, government, non-profit and arts/cultural worlds together to talk about this thing called the "new economy." To our surprise and delight, the response has been overwhelming, with 254 attendees at the first conference at Stonewall Jackson Resort and 395 last year at Snowshoe Mountain Resort.
The people of West Virginia are hungry for a new approach to growth.
If it's called the "Create" WV conference, it has to stay fresh, right? Well this year, rather than going to another resort, we thought it was time to immerse ourselves in a true creative community in development. After all, what better way to learn how communities transform than to experience it in the very process of transformation?
So hang onto your hats. It's going to be another incremental leap forward in creativity, innovation, best-practice sharing and celebration of West Virginia's current and future creative economic and community development initiatives. The Create WV 2009 Conference will be held October 18 (Sunday evening) - 20 (Tuesday) in....
(Apologies for the video and sound quality...It was taken with a phone cam. You might want to turn up the volume! Hey, we're creative, but not equipped.)
Registration will be open in early June, but mark your calendars! If you have any ideas or feedback for this year's conference, please email it to createwv@visionshared.com. See you at the conference!
