For creative professionals in the Denver area
Creative Connections is your networking alternative.

Our purpose? To foster working relationships among local creative pros.

Denver-area graphic designer Rob Nelson and multimedia consultant Steve Stone sought to develop a referral network of creatives that complemented their own areas of expertise. The result is Creative Connections, founded in the Denver Tech Center in February 2008.

Join us every month on the 1st and 3rd Fridays from 9-10:30 a.m. at the Aspen Grove Community Church, 181 W. County Line Road, Littleton 80129 at County Line Road and Broadway (in the strip mall next to Goodwill) Check on our Meetup.com site for verification.

“I currently belong to quite a few groups to market my business and I was hesitant to join ‘one more.’ It is refreshing to go to a networking meeting that is not inundated with real estate agents, insurance agents and MLM companies.  Creative Connections is a great group of creative professionals who get together and teach one other about their field. In addition to educational opportunities, there is quite a bit of synergy. Since our professions are closely related, there are more opportunities for us to collaborate on projects. The atmosphere is laid back, but still remains professional.”
—Tracy Quintana, Photographer, TQ Photography
