Creative Developers Summit

4–5 June, 2020
ONLINE

The Creative Developers Summit is the premier annual event for anyone who creates or implements custom software solutions for creative professionals. The Summit is the place to meet, share, and learn about our industry’s tools, resources, and direction.

This Dev Summit Is For You

You know the Creative Developers Summit is for you if:

  • you write software to extend the functionality and/or automate tasks or workflow by creating scripts, extensions, plug-ins, add-ons, or custom applications;
  • you are responsible for ensuring that technical things are working properly, so that creative minds don’t have to worry about them;
  • you deal with software updates, OS compatibility, and Creative Cloud teams;
  • you’re charged with making sure that the file server keeps running and has sufficient disk space, the network pings, the pages get paginated, and the scripts do not crash.

The Creative Developers Summit offers something for all levels of experience and all specialities. It doesn’t matter whether you’re a beginning scripter, a C++ developer, or a seasoned IT manager!

At the Creative Developers Summit you’ll find solutions for problems you encounter every day, and you’ll learn about current and future technologies.

Why spend hours scouring search engines for solutions, when you can attend The Creative Developers Summit?

You’ll get face-to-face with Adobe technical, developer and marketing teams to get the inside scoop on Adobe’s roadmaps and future plans (NDA is required), as well as the opportunity to share and solicit feedback from the creative development community.

Come away with time-saving know-how and a brand-new support network of knowledgeable peers!

Read what Kris Coppieters from Rorohiko has to say about why developers should attend the Creative Developers Summit.

Important note:

  • If you have a CreativePro Week pass, you may attend the Creative Developers Summit
  • A Creative Developers Summit pass is only $95 for 2 days, but you do not have access to other CreativePro Week sessions

About Us
