CreativeMornings is a monthly breakfast lecture series for creative types. Each event is free of charge, and includes a 20 minute lecture, plus coffee!

Establishing CreativeMornings in New York City in September 2009, founder Tina Roth Eisenberg aspired to create an accessible, inspiring morning event for people to meet. Starting the day right with a freshly brewed cup of coffee and a dose of creative inspiration is undoubtedly a recipe for success. Dubbed as “TED for the rest of us,” the Creative Mornings lecture series has spread to 19 cities across the globe – from Auckland to Cape Town to Budapest  – with 3 more soon to launch, including Utrecht in the Netherlands.

On 30 March 2012, CreativeMornings Utrecht will host its inaugural lecture at “In De Ruimte” (Oudegracht 230A), opening at 08:30 (AM). Delivered by Tessa van Asselt of TrendsActive, the talk centers on the basic principles of trend interpretation, sharing some examples of how they are used in real life situations. Her agency, TrendsActive, specializes in the identification and translation of social cultural trends into the development of business strategies, communication tools and design concepts. Over the years, the firm has worked with Fortune 500 and non-profit organizations alike, catering to a broad group of clients such as Tetra Pak, Coca-Cola and Ikea.

30 x 30 | We are all creative equals

In anticipation of the CreativeMornings debut in the Netherlands, CM Utrecht x phillipqgangan present: 30 x 30 – a celebration of creativity and inspiration. Beginning on the 1st of March 2012, phillipqgangan will feature 30 creative works over the course of 30 days. The project aims to inspire people to do something creative, today. After all, creativity is not limited to realms of art, literature and music alone. Instilled in each and every one of us is a child-like sense of wonder that yearns to be free. At the end of the day, we are all creative equals. ✌
