Behance at Adobe MAX

Our team is really excited about MAX this year. We will be unveiling some exciting projects related to Creative Cloud that we have been working on, as well as some Behance integrations into Adobe tools. In addition, our product design team will be running a few sessions on how to make the most of Behance. It will be our first MAX ever, and we hope to see you there!

Behance Hackathon Recap

Last week Behance held an in-house Halloween Hackathon (one month later due to Hurricane Sandy). This day was filled with some amazing ideas, collaboration and participation from both the Behance team and some special guests.

Here is a list of some great ideas that came to life:

  • BeSpoke: A gallery of work tailored to your taste 
  • Comments Analysis: Analyzing how positive or negative your comments are on Behance 
  • Advice by Behance: A mentor finder- connecting established and emerging creatives, to share knowledge & collect feedback
  • Bēgin: A simple way to use Behance for a daily dose of inspiration
  • Inspiration Pill: What you take is what you make
  • Behanceroids: Asteroids Game
  • Roundtable: An easy uploader for students to post work in progress, evaluate & critique

Curation and Creativity meet modern culture at the upcoming “Curators Conference” in NYC. We spotted this day-long event, featuring presentations of leading curators and creative professionals in fashion, film, design, and tech – and recommend it to anyone looking to dig into curation in their field – from the nitty gritty to the inspirational.

The conference, debuting during NYC Fashion Week, features presentations, ideas and conversations of thought leaders in their fields. Speakers so far include Gia Coppola (Filmmaker), Philippe von Borries (Refinery29), Susie Bubble (Fashion Icon) and many more.

Creative Events Roundup

Have some extra time this summer to expand into your passion or hobby? Here are a few creative events that are worth consideration. 


Luminance Conference
Most photo conferences focus on gear and technique. Luminance is different. This 2 day conference features two dozen top speakers (including our own Scott Belksy!) from a variety of organizations that help to create, consume and definite photography. Each will present a 20 minute TED-style talk. Photographers, technologists, designers & those who care about the direction of photography should attend.
September 12-13 – NYC


App Summer Camp
If you love app development and are a talented young hacker/designer/geek, join your cohorts at this 2 week camp on the water in Hungary. The “campers” will get involved in digital product development projects – plus, it’s all free if you’re selected! A great opportunity in Europe for UX ninjas, bloggers, journalists, mobile or front-end developers.
August & September – Hungary


Startup Weekend
Startup Weekend is all about providing events that will help you get a jump on launching your startup. Share ideas, form teams, and hear from passionate leaders and entrepreneurs.
