The 2013 99u conference is well under way, and the first day has been nothing short of incredible. We started off the day with interactive studio sessions, heard some insightful speakers, and ended with intimate master classes.
Here are some memorable pictures & tweets from an epic Day 1.

Each month, our curators select one ProSite to feature as “ProSite of the Month”. Our April pick is Band Originale, a French production company whose visual effects are shown through their work as well as their dynamic ProSite.
The Webby Awards is the leading international award honoring excellence on the Internet, and we’re thrilled to be included among this year’s incredible list of winners! Behance won the ‘Self-Promotion/Portfolio’ award, which means we’re on the right path to help creatives achieve the exposure they deserve. That said, this is just the beginning and our team is hard at work on a number of updates, projects and new features that we can’t wait to share. Stay tuned!

Earlier last week, we updated our iPhone app to version 2.2. This app brings WIP (Work in Progress) for mobile users front and center – because as you know, where you work isn’t confided to your desk. Most excitingly, we’re now pulling images from editing apps like Adobe Photoshop Touch to add to WIPs, that way mobile users can share their work with the rest of the world as easy as our desktop users!
We’re also working on our iPad app and we’re looking for suggestions for you, our users. Contact us here.
Hosted by New York’s Ace Hotel, 99U Conference presenter and artist James Victore’s installation “Aphorisms on Art & Idea Execution” presents bold, simple messages to not only creatives, but anyone with an idea worth doing. Victore’s work includes 1993′s “Racism,” and other works featured at the Louvre and The Library of Congress.
The lurid orange text screen printed on seemingly generic paintings slaps you with messages like “Kill the critic” or “Stop looking for permission,” advice that needs little-to-no explanation. And, if you forget your camera, there are rolls of inspirational stickers opposite the installation that viewers can help themselves to. 99U’s very own Jocelyn Glei interviewed James Victore about his process and workflow.
The exhibit runs through May 25th. For more info, visit the Ace Hotel’s website.
