Creators at Notion
October 28, 2024

Our first-ever conference is officially wrapped šŸŽ

Notion users far and wide gathered at Pier 27 in San Francisco for a day celebrating builders, makers and importantlyā€”creators. Some of our favorite moments at conference were:

  • Unveiling Notion Mail to the world āœ‰ļø 

  • Hearing Zaria Parvez share insights on building a brand on social

  • The chicken tenders at happy hour

  • Oh, andā€¦ we finally acknowledged offline mode (IYKYK)

Keep scrolling for a full rundown on how we tapped creators to participate at Make with Notion and some of the exciting product updates we announced at the conference. Now that the conference is over, you can expect us to be going on ā€œdo not disturbā€ mode until further notice (kidding) and noodling on how to make our next event even better.

Creators at Make with Notion

When planning the content for the conference, the team wanted to ensure that Make with Notion celebrated creators. We were fortunate enough to have some amazing creators attend and present at Make with Notion. Here are some of highlights of what creators got up to at Make with Notion:

Koi Academy presented their session on ā€œBuilding a meaningful life in Notion.ā€ As a long-term partner of ours, we were thrilled that they were able to bring their science-backed productivity methods to Make with Notion.

Taha Khan of Answer in Progress took over the @NotionHQ Instagram, giving our audience the attendee perspective of Make with Notion.

Chris Duncan of Creator Camp took to Community Stage to share ā€œHow Creator Camp Plans Inspiring Creative Retreats on Notion.ā€ We love that our yearlong partnership with Creator Camp culminated in this presentation, speaking to the operations that goes into the meaningful events that that the team executes.

Join the Waitlist: Notion Mail

h

I donā€™t know about you, but nothing makes my eyes hurt more than a long, disorganized email thread. Since email is integral to any creator economy-related job function, we are particularly excited about this update. Notion is rethinking the beauty of email and giving it a long-overdue redesign. Hereā€™s what you can expect:

  • Organize with custom or pre-built views (like a Notion database)

  • Write emails with the Notion-like editor

  • Automate your inbox & replies with Notion AI
