QBNers...
Heading out to Portland OR in a month and I want to use my time wisely...
Looking to connect with agencies and individuals in the creative industry from a freelance/fulltime point of view...
Can you recommend any good agencies/people I should and try and set up appointments with?
Any help would be great
Thanks

I don't like when people call it "creative industry" or call people "creatives".
If you're making weird art, you can be called a creative, but there's a lot of fields [like automotive for one] that require creativity. Making websites and taglines isn't more creative than others.
- So what would YOU call it?nylon

I'm moving there next week to take a design director job at Nike. Give me a shout when your'e in town. The only other thing I would mention that hasn't been yet is Work&Co and their portland office headed by Joe Stewart and Casey Sheehan... two of the best in digital.
- Good luck with the move man. Just tweeted you so lets connect.
