Once upon a time, ihaveanidea’s Portfolio Night only took place in three Canadian cities. In 2008, however, the annual event has grown to almost two dozen locations across the globe. And while the ihaveanidea team itself has grown in that same time frame, we’re still not big enough to physically be in every single city this Thursday. So unless rapid human cloning becomes available in the next 72 hours or so, here’s where you’ll find the ihaveanidea gang on Portfolio Night:

Jay Thompson, ihaveanidea’s VP of Stuff, will be heading to the very agency that turned him onto advertising in the first place, 180 in Amsterdam. Let’s hope we don’t lose him to the city’s – ahem – coffee shops.

Mimi Martinoski, our Director of Communications, is well suited and prepared for the ultra-posh Knightsbridge district of London, where JWT is hosting PN6.

Brendan Watson, Director of Educational Resources, will be packing his Speedo and sunscreen and head to Miami to join Alma DDB on what’s looking to be a great evening.

Portfolio Night 6 might be global now, but we can’t forget where it all began. Therefore Nat Salgueiro, ihaveanidea’s Chief Editor, will be in attendance at the birthplace of Portfolio Night – Toronto – where PN6 is hosted by DDB Canada.

Rafik Belmesk, ihaveanidea’s celebrated Future Gold co-ordinator, will be holding down the fort in Montreal, helping to ref the event at Sid Lee. It’s a good thing too, considering he’s the only one of us that’s perfectly fluent en français.

Michelle Planche, Portfolio Night Event Director, is set to take a bite out of the Big Apple, assisting DDB at PN6 New York.

And Brett McKenzie, Chief Writer, SBN2, has the honor of both starting and finishing Portfolio Night this year; he’ll be there to kick off the festivities with Butler, Shine, Stern & Partners in San Francisco on Wednesday night, then he’ll be winding it all down 24+ hours later in Los Angeles with 180. No word on whether he’ll be bringing his portfolio along to try to get in on 180’s incredible announcement.

If you’re attending Portfolio Night 6 in any of these locales, please stop us, say hi and chat. Even if you’re in one of the other cities, there are dozens of local event leads and volunteers who we’re sure would appreciate a kind word!

Oh, and where in the world is Ignacio Oreamuno?

ihaveanidea’s founder and president will be attending Portfolio Night 6 in Buenos Aires with the Círculo de Creativos Argentinos. Olé!
