Part of this year’s new attitude around InSource is a more open and sharing environment. We will again resume a free membership model and continue to offer great programs and content to a more inclusive membership.
The forums are a great place to connect directly with other members of InSource. As a registered member you have free access to read, reply, and even ask questions of the many members in the InSource network.

2010 is an important year for all of us but especially so for InSource. Why? In 2010, we’re making a promise to our members to get back to basics and that means a return to the very things our members told us they liked most about InSource. Glenn Arnowitz and Andy Epstein began with a vision years ago to bring inhouse creative leaders together around a table to discuss issues close to the heart of everyone. The funny thing we discovered by doing this: the issues were common across the board. These roundtable discussions yielded some great “best practices” that were found to be the real value of InSource. InSource was born out of this idea of sharing.
As you consider your career and all that you want or need to accomplish, you may want to consider using this approach to make your dreams a reality. Even though the majority of us in the creative fields are visual learners and have limited difficulty visualizing creative concepts, at times we can get bogged down when it comes to our future.
