The 2nd Global Creative Economy Convergence Summit, hosted in Philadelphia, required a dynamic website with social integration and participation at the forefront.
The GCECS 2009 site was created with development group, Round 3 Media (now SUMO Heavy) in a ridiculously tight window with Twitter, Facebook and Flickr integration and developed on the Wordpress framework for easy-to-make and up-to-date content management. The main inspiration for the design came from the grid and hierarchy of a printed newspaper—headline down to front-page stories with running commentary.
