Scott Belsky: Making Ideas Happen

Due to overwhelming demand, we've changed venues for this event to accommodate more attendees! Please also note the slight time adjustment. Get your tickets now before this event sells out again!

Great ideas only see the light of day when creative people and teams are able to get organized, harness the forces of community, and become better leaders of themselves and others. After years of research,  Scott Belsky and his team at Behance have found a series of best practices common across some of the world's most productive creative people and teams. Scott is the author of the national bestselling book "Making Ideas Happen" (Penguin Books, April 2010) and, as Founder and CEO of Behance, oversees the largest online platform of creative professionals. In this session, Scott will share practical tips that you can use to push bold creative projects to completion.

Scott believes that the greatest breakthroughs across all industries are a result of creative people and teams that are especially productive. As such, Scott has committed his professional life to help organize creative individuals, teams, and networks. Scott is the founder of Behance, a company that develops products and services for the creative industries. Behance oversees the Behance Network, the world’s leading online platform for creative professionals; The 99%, Behance's think tank and annual conference devoted to execution in the creative world, and Action Method, a popular online/mobile productivity application and line of organizational paper products.

Through his work at Behance, Scott has become an advocate for technology and community initiatives that empower the careers of creative professionals. He has consulted for leading media and Fortune 500 companies, including GE and Hewlett-Packard, and has traveled as far as the Kaospilots School in Aarhus, Denmark to talk about his findings. He has appeared in the Wall Street Journal and BusinessWeek, and has shared Behance's research in segments on ABC News, MSNBC, and with the United States State Department. Scott was also included in Fast Company Magazine's list of "100 Most Creative People in Business." Scott has guest lectured at Cornell University, Harvard University, VCU Brand Center, and UC Berkeley among other institutions, and serves as a small business expert on American Express' Open Forum website.
