Mike Jones has a heart to help people. He has spent his career hugging necks and making incredible logos while helping businesses perfect their visual message. But for Mike that wasn’t enough, he wanted to create a conference that was affordable and had a home-town feel right in the heart of Georgia.

Creative South was built in a coffee shop by two friends. Others heard or overheard and offered to help, and a design community was built. Honestly for me this is the best design conference to go to. The feel of anyone can join you for a meal, conversations are not closed, people are real, and the learning is impactful, inspirational, and motivating.
