Since last year, we at ihaveanidea have been proud of the fact that we’ve taken Portfolio Night all around the world. But really, that hasn’t been exactly true now, has it? We start in Auckland, New Zealand, and we head westbound. We cross the Tasman Sea, the South China Sea and the Indian Ocean. We pass the Mediterranean, swim the English Channel and even conquer the mighty Atlantic. And after a bit of fun in the Great Lakes, we grind to a halt on the west coast of Canada and the US.

But it’s not “around the world” if you bypass the entire Pacific Ocean, is it?

The talented crew at Butler, Shine, Stern & Partners, hosts of Portfolio Night 6 in San Francisco, have allowed for us to cure Portfolio Night 6 of its ‘pacificophobia’, and make it a genuine “around the world” 24+ hour event. For everyone planning on making the scene, Portfolio Night in San Fran will begin on Wednesday, May 7th at 7:00 PM. A few hours later, after a quick jaunt across the International Date Line (which, if we understand correctly, is in the middle of the Pacific Ocean) people will be lining up on Greys Avenue in Auckland, ready to set it off New Zealand style. We’ll then go all the way around the world, winding up back on the North American Pacific coast where we started, kicking off PN6 in Los Angeles and Vancouver.

PS: the astute young creative will note that this “Pacific Plan” makes it possible to attend PN6 in two cities; they can show their stuff in Frisco, then board a flight up or down the coast the next morning and catch the end of PN6 in LA or Van-city. Very Pacific indeed.

Stay tuned!
