Creators Lab Confirmed for February 2025
in the Seattle Area
Creators Lab will return in February 2025! Centered around today’s digital pioneers, Creators Lab brought together podcasters, YouTubers, social media content creators, writers and other digital creatives of faith from the Pacific Northwest and beyond in its first event at the Oregon Conference Holden Convention Center earlier this year.
Featuring a variety of digital creative leaders including Kevin Wilson, Seth Pierce, documentary filmmaker Evelin Velinova, Oregon Conference digital media specialist Kaleb Eisele, Washington Conference media director Ernesto Hernandez, and writer/podcast host Nicole Dominguez, Creators Lab received overwhelmingly positive feedback. Kristen Ward, who serves as a media volunteer for the Church of the Advent Hope in New York City, shared that, "This event was so much more than I imagined! Not only were there engaging, incredibly knowledgeable speakers, but I also got to meet such a diverse group of creatives in the Adventist community — from beginners to seasoned pros, representing so many different fields. Everyone shared the same passion for creating things and believed that their talents were contributing to something greater. I never expected something of this scale and absolutely loved learning and connecting with like-minded people!” Keep reading...
