Creative Connect was founded in 2003 as a way to build community and connection among creative people. It serves to facilitate communication, collaboration and cooperation... within the creative community. Since its inception, Creative Connect has brought together thousands of people in an authentic and trusted manner. This is accomplished through small-group gath-erings, closed-group roundtables, and one-on-one meetings, and through its Founder as a Connector and Facilitator.

People have made friends, they've found jobs, located office space, created new business and businesses, found homes, and even met spouses.

It is important to recognize how careful investments in a city's creative resources, especially its people, can be used to bring into being the creative city that benefits all members of the community."
