Designers in Startups: the St. Louis Innovation Camp

No more waiting for the Recession to end. It's time for designers in St. Louis to kick the door down and go make some opportunity of their own.

I've been helping put together the event of a lifetime for any St. Louis designer or entrepreneur. The St. Louis Innovation Camp. Three solid days, from Feb. 26 to Feb 28, of presentations on starting your own company. Three days of learning from local leaders and networking with business people, developers and other designers ready to start new companies.

What makes this event different is it's not just focusing on business, or code. It teaches you about the business of building a startup, and the technology, and how design is vital for a successful startup company.

This is the first time an event of this size in St. Louis has brought together the business people that know how to fund and run a company with the developers that know how to code a product with the designers that know how to design and shape a product that people want and can use. Brought them together and shown them how to make it happen.

Tickets are $50 until February 14th. Sign up now if you've dreamed of starting your own company, want to work on something creative and new, or just want to meet the people that are going to be the future of St. Louis.

Design speakers include:

Ed Morrissey - Integrity

Dan Curran - NGAGE

David Garland - Rise to the Top

Jim Durbin - Durbin Media

Wesley Morgan - Morgan Studio/East

Chris Buehler and Mike Tomko - Scorch

Stacey Rynders

Tammie Hutto Egloff - Simply Pragmatic

Brad Nunnally


Daniel Cooley - DGCooley Consulting, LLC

Josh Jeffryes (me) - BusyEvent

Plus a ton of incredible people presenting on management, funding, technology, and everything else you need to know about starting a company.

Do. Not. Miss. This.

Sign up. Start something.
