Bryan, Bill, Heather and Cindy (friend of Go Media) headed down to Georgia a week ago to check out Creative South, a design conference wrapped up in a whole lot of southern hospitality.

Creative South, the brain child of Mike Jones, is a weekend of creative thinking, collaboration, and exploration in Columbus, Georgia. Attendees enjoy workshops, talks focused on process and experience, and meeting old friends as well as making new ones. Their goal is to connect folks in the industry and the design community. Their motto: “Hug necks! Come as friends and leave as family. Word!”

Here’s our play-by-play of the fun-filled weekend.
