The Edmonton chapter of CreativeMornings is organized by Brandon Webber. Follow along with them at @Edmonton_CM!

This Friday marks the very first event for CreativeMornings/Edmonton. The speaker to kick off the Alberta-based chapter will be Michael Brechtel, who has helped to lead two of the fastest growing ad agencies in Western Canada and is currently building a boutique Advertising and Public Relations agency, Berlin. He was the founding chair of interVivos, founding co-chair of artsScene Edmonton, and one of the four “instigators” of the Reboot Alberta movement.

He was a co-host and co-founder of TEDxEdmonton and TEDxCanadian rockies, and hosts both a monthly “TED talks at lunch” dialogue and the TEDxEdmonton Salon Series. He was named one of Edmonton’s “Sizzling 20 Under 30″ for 2008, recognized as “Next Up” by Alberta Venture in 2010, and as one of Edmonton’s 2010 40 under 40 by Avenue Magazine.
