Creative Pro Week

CreativePro Week is the essential how-to conference for creative pros, featuring in-depth training on Adobe InDesign, Photoshop, Illustrator, Acrobat, and Microsoft PowerPoint. Expect 35+ expert speakers and 70+ sessions focused on real-world techniques to boost your workflow and productivity.

7-11 Jun 2027 · Phoenix, AZ, USA

CreativePro Week is a focused, skills-first conference for professional designers who work primarily in Adobe tools and related applications. Held annually, it's built around practical, in-depth training — not trend talks or broad inspiration, but real technique from expert practitioners who know the software inside out.

The program includes over 70 sessions and 35+ speakers covering InDesign, Photoshop, Illustrator, Acrobat, and Microsoft PowerPoint. Sessions are organized by skill level and tool, making it easy to build a schedule around specific gaps or goals. The format rewards people who come with concrete questions and leave with concrete answers.

CreativePro Week occupies a niche that most design conferences ignore: the working designer who needs to get better at their tools, not just their thinking. It's particularly strong for print and publication designers, production professionals, and anyone who spends serious time inside Adobe's ecosystem. If you want to go home faster and smarter at the actual craft of making things, this is a smart event to put on your radar.

I moved to Brussels a year and a half ago, from a small town, to pursue more photography opportunities. The Creative Lunch Club has been instrumental in helping me connect with other creatives and discover the wonders of this city. Sharing lunch with like-minded creatives has opened up new ideas and perspectives for me. The passion and energy from these gatherings never fail to inspire and motivate me.
