Two days that will blow both sides of your mind
Bend WebCAM 2013
October 14-15 in Bend, Oregon
Plan on joining us for 2013.
Now in its fourth year of attracting some of the country’s most dynamic speakers and innovative thinkers, the Bend WebCAM (Web + Creative and Marketing) Conference invites attendees to explore mind-blowing topics on three different tracks.
The Left Brain (aka "Geek") track dives into the technical, the logical and cutting edge methods of communication, such as social media, SEO, mobile marketing, etc.
The Right Brain (aka "Chic") track focuses on the creative, the emotional, the imaginative messages of communication, including advertising, design, copywriting, brand development, etc.
And finally, the Hybrid - Super Freak track merges the two ways of thinking into a synergistic gumbo, enriching anyone involved in the Web and Creative & Marketing industries, especially those who realize the inseparability of technology and creativity in a successful 21st Century business plan.
Set amidst the fresh air, stunning natural beauty and casually sophisticated atmosphere of Bend, Oregon, it all clicks.
