Full and overflowing. That’s how I wanted the Chicago Bootcamp attendees to feel at the end of the day. And that’s just what I am, full, overflowing, and grateful beyond words for the 100+ humans who joined us on our 5th bootcamp, and first event in Chicago.
Thank you to everyone who popped out and showed out from our attendees, to our AMAZING session leaders, volunteers, friends, and especially our dedicated and committed sponsors.
One of my intentions for our events is to ensure that our humans feel a sense of belonging, brave, celebrated, safe, seen, heard, valued and welcomed along with letting everyone know that The Creative Ladder is committed to making creative careers more accessible and inclusive for us. We’re bridging the gap on illustrating to the industry that it’s not a talent deficit, but rather an opportunity deficit, and I couldn’t be more proud of the community we’re building.
Oh, and you know I made sure everyone in attendance checked their voter registration and/or registered to vote! 🗳️
Special, special thanks to Jennifer Healan and presenting sponsor, McDonald's, as well as to Hilton, Capital One, Shopify, Leo Burnett, Ogilvy, VaynerMedia, MNTN and The One Club for Creativity for helping to make Chicago so special.
Grateful is an understatement. Stay tuned! There's so much more to come.
