Last month, we had a lot of fun discussing the topic of Play across our sixty chapters. This November, weâre excited to announce our theme of Bravery. The theme was chosen by our organizer Blake Howard and the Atlanta team and animated beautifully by fabulous Stewart Scott-Curran who created our monthly illustration.
Yesterday evening CreativeMorningsâ worldwide sponsor Shutterstock celebrated the grand opening of its European headquarter in Berlin. The sales and development office is well located in the heart of Germanyâs capital, right in the Kulturbrauerei, the best meeting place for cultural exchange.
In his short talk after a ribbon cutting ceremony CEO Jon Oringer mentioned, that the New York-based company does more than two-thirds of its business outside the U.S., with Germany the biggest market in Europe. âThe move to Berlin was partly aimed at taking advantage of the âtech talentâ in this cityâ.
After some inspiring conversations at Shutterstockâs opening party we were all infected by their photographic energy. Fortunately, a nostalgic passport photo machine is located directly at the entrance of Shutterstockâs new offices. Here we shot a beautiful b/w family photo quartet that satisfied our desire for an emotional image (Polaroid frame image courtesy of Shutterstock)
We are happy to announce a new location, sponsored by our friends at MetaDesign: the Trafohalle at MetaHaus. The building was constructed in 1928/29, by Hans Heinrich Mßller for the power supply of the living quarters in Charlottenburg as a superior steel frame construction with red brick facade. The Trafohalle is located on the ground floor and offers 100 seats for our guests.
