Juice: Powering the Creative Economy
Maine’s Action Summit

On November 16 and 17th 2007 over 400 people gathered in Rockland and Camden to attend the first Juice Conference.

Participants came from 87 communities across Maine and beyond, as distant as Biddeford and Eastport, Belfast and Fort Kent, representing over 290 businesses and organizations. This wide cross-section of motivated people got connected, got inspired, and got to work setting goals and next steps to make sure creativity and innovation are at the forefront of Maine’s economic future.

All of the 36 different 90-minute workshop sessions helped connect people with shared interests, and most also aimed at coalescing those people around priority goals and actions. Contact people for each topic identified themselves, and the Juice conference organizers will follow up with them to encourage them to follow through and to report on their results. 

Click on the Current Activity tab above for updates from session leaders about follow up activities that are happening since the conference.   We encourage you to submit information related to the Creative Economy topics discussed at Juice that you believe would be of interest to others.  This site is open to Juice attendees and anyone else interested in the Creative Economy in Maine.
