Creative Week, slated for Oct. 19-26, 2013, has launched a dedicated site at creativecorridor.co/
The site was developed by ConnectFive, a usability, strategy and design firm based in Iowa City. Creative Week 2013’s microsite highlights the opportunities during the festival for citizens to explore ideas, innovation and imagination going on around the region called Iowa’s Creative Corridor.
Creative Week 2013 will be the first seven-day truly regional festival of innovation, creativity and imagination in Iowa, with events taking place in Benton, Cedar, Linn, Johnson, Jones, Iowa and Washington counties. Every group, organization and individual in the area is invited to participate by hosting an event, becoming a sponsor or partner, or attending events throughout the week.
“As a growing, innovative, Iowa City-based company, ConnectFive is committed to helping grow and promote the creative capacity of Iowa’s Creative Corridor,” said Jeff Nock, who handles business development for ConnectFive.
Amanda Styron, project lead for the festival, said ConnectFive’s website was an example of the great creative work that happens in the Creative Corridor.
“Partnering with the team at ConnectFive is a dream come true. Their approach to the work and dedication to this region is inspiring,” said Styron. “We were so excited when they approached us about contributing to the festival. They have been awesome to work with and the microsite will be a fantastic tool for everyone to use to go out and explore the region during Creative Week.”
Nock said he expected the week, which now has more than 70 events participating across seven counties to be inspiring.“ConnectFive is thrilled with the opportunity to contribute a site that promotes Creative Week and also offers mobile-friendly access for attendees to find events throughout the week.”
Creative Week will feature events ranging from the Innovation Expo and three national conferences to theatre, jazz shows, dance performances, writers showcases, tech meetups, a 24-hour filmmakers challenge, a regional food tour, and iconic national speakers, including Scott Heiferman, CEO/co-founder of Meetup.com, Scott Case, co-founder of Priceline.com and CEO of The Startup America Partnership, and Ken Segall, former creative director for Steve Jobs at Apple and NeXT.
