EMERGENCE CREATIVE TAKES OVER MARGARET RIVER

Emergence Creative has taken Margaret River by storm since it launched on Wednesday February 19. 300 lucky guests have been able to enjoy Emergence Creative at it’s full capacity of creative work, collaborative sessions, beach breakfasts, live music performances and winery dinners making a great week of networking with like-minded creative and tech professionals. Many locals who are creatively inclined have been frequenting the satellite events and workshops.

MRCCI was happy to be involved in the Marketing With No Money session presented by Cooch Creative Director / Partner Ron Samuel. A lot of MRCCI members attended the event using the special MRCCI discount and walked away more inspired.

What about that launch night in the Civic Centre precinct on Wednesday night! Check out a couple of the photos the MRCCI took of the activities, crowd and artwork that was being produced live at this spectacular community event.
