First of all, we’d like to thank everyone who participated in Portfolio Night and has sent us their stories about the experience. More emails come in every day, and we plan to put these stories online very shortly, along with photos and videos from the various Portfolio Night 6 cities.

In the meantime, here are more blogs from around the world written by people who were at PN6. Most were participants, getting their portfolios reviewed, but a few come from other people, including volunteers and journalists.

Thanks again to everyone, and keep sending your PN6 stories, blog links, suggestions, criticisms and lavish praise to brett@ihaveanidea.org

Now that ihaveanidea’s Portfolio Night 6 is now in the history books, we’ve asked all of the creative hopefuls to send us their stories about their PN6 experiences. Little did we know that it wouldn’t just be the aspiring creatives wanting to weigh in on the event. We’ve also found some blog musings by CDs and other PN6 participants.

Here’s a post on crackunit.com, a blog by Iain Tait, founder of Poke. Iain was one of the creatives who reviewed books at PN6 London. And here’s a blog post by Ronnie Lebow, who came to PN6 Toronto as an invited guest and ended up offering advice to the creative hopefuls himself.

If you’re well versed in Italian, you can check out this blog post by Francesco Taddeucci, Creative Director of The Name, who participated in PN6 Milan. Sonya Grewal and Greg Christensen, Y&R creative director and senior writer respectively, gave a very detailed recap of what they saw at PN6 Chicago. Very much worth a read no matter what city you’re from!

And here’s an interesting blog post from a young Hill Holliday creative who was asked by her CDs to fill in for them at PN6 Boston.
