2 years. It has been 2 years since CreativeMornings Lisbon had it’s first event.
So much has changed since then. We have a different host, a different team, different partnerships.
Still, a few things remain the same.
Our mission is the same. To inspire creativity, our manifesto remains “everyone is creative, everyone is welcome”. Some of our attendees remained faithful, one of our partners never stopped supporting us. Impossible has been our partner since the beginning. In fact, many might not know, but Impossible pulled the trigger to have CreativeMornings in Lisbon. Having an office in London, the company’s staff was already a big advocate to CreativeMornings. Then they found Victoria, an employee who was as passionate about creativity as them. And that’s how we were born.
Since then, it has been a journey to meet to most inspiring people in Lisbon. The speakers, the volunteers who sacrifice their free time to put all the event together and the audience, who wake up so earlier to come listen to our talks. We are people with so different backgrounds, different jobs, different ideas, but we are people who think alike and share the same values. And we are remarkable people. Freelancers, people changing careers, people trying to get in touch with their creative side, morning people. Together we have became what we can call a true community, together we became so much stronger.
So, we are taking this opportunity to get a little bit cheesy and thank all the people that have been helping this project to grow and most of all that help us prove our own statement. Everyone is creative. Everyone is welcome.
This being said, in September there will be three great reasons to come to our next event:
1. The speaker: Pedro Saavedra. Pedro is one in many. He is an actor, an art director, a magazine editor and so many other things. Who else could come to talk about Chaos?
2. Our venue: Farfetch Office. I’m sure you are very curious to get to the office of one of the most successful start-ups in Portugal. If you are not, you should. You will be wishing that was your office. I did. And I work at home, which can be a little bit more problematic.
3. Our 2nd anniversary. We want to thank you, we want to celebrate, we want to party. This means there will be cakes and, who knows, maybe a few goodies?
Save the date, it will happen on the 28th September. Stay tuned, we will be sending out all the info and opening tickets registration very soon. We are looking forward to see you there.
