ADOBE CREATE NOW EVENT 👩🏾‍🎨✨👩🏾‍💻

Last month had the honor to attend the Adobe create now event designed for graphic designers, creatives, and more in Boston! I’ve been attending these Adobe events since 2022 and I love going every time they are in town. I always walk away with new insight on how to use Adobe tools, presentations from local designers & shakers use of products or highlighting their work, see new features and beta products, activity activations including headshots, network & connect with others across industries and did i mention complementary cocktails & tapas? Yes indeed a good time!!!

Attending the Adobe Create Now event in Boston truly offers a dynamic experience for anyone passionate about graphic design and creative technology. Beyond just the presentations and workshops, the event is a fantastic networking opportunity, allowing creatives to meet like-minded professionals across different industries. One highlight for me was the chance to try out beta versions of Adobe products, which gives a firsthand look at upcoming features and improvements. This sneak peek allows attendees to stay ahead of trends and incorporate the latest tools into their workflows. The headshot station was also a clever activation, offering attendees professional photos that can be used for portfolios or social media profiles, reinforcing the event's focus on personal branding. The blend of education and social interaction—complemented by cocktails and tapas—creates a relaxed environment that fosters creativity and collaboration. Learning about how local designers and Adobe partners apply tools in their real-world projects was inspiring and practical. These shared insights have helped me rethink my approach to certain design challenges. For graphic designers and creative professionals looking to grow their skills, build connections, and stay updated with Adobe's ecosystem, attending events like Create Now can be game-changing. Whether you’re looking for technical know-how, fresh inspiration, or simply a community vibe, this event delivers on all fronts.
