About

The Creative Lunch Club is a community for people working in the creative industries.

Whether you are a graphic designer, a photographer, a marketer, or a filmmaker, the Creative Lunch Club gives you the chance to regularly meet other creatives in your city for lunch.

Creative Lunch Club has been an invaluable part of my creative journey in Helsinki and beyond. Alongside introducing me to incredible people, the conversations and moments shared through the network have given me fresh perspectives, much-needed respites, lasting friendships, and the encouragement to persist through the hurdles of freelancing!

The Idea

Meeting other creative and inspiring people is one of the best things about working in the creative industries. But networking events are boring. Wouldn't it be much nicer to meet other creatives over lunch?

This is where the Creative Lunch Club comes in. We bring creative people together to have lunch together.

The CLC is great because I can easily get to know previously unknown creative people in the city, gain new inspiration, expand my talent network and also discover new corners and restaurants in the city. I think CLC members are curious and open-minded people by nature. It's always exciting to learn more about the city's creative scene and its projects. At my previous meetings, we always had interesting discussions and the time for lunch was often far too short. I'm already looking forward to my next CLC.

How it works

Join the Club, and we will connect you with two other creatives from your city once a month. Together you set a time and a place and have lunch.

There are no rules for lunch. Talk about your work, projects, what inspires you, and what you enjoy.

Thanks to Creative Lunch Club and their beautiful concept I regularly get to meet new creative people in Vienna every month.

Meetups

Besides our matching system, we also host meetups in larger groups. These have a fixed date, time, and location, and create space to meet even more creatives, share ideas, and connect beyond your usual circle.

As a Creative Lunch Club member, you can join these meetups for free and be part of the wider community coming together around a shared table.

Thank you so much for the lunch club so far – I have already made some fabulous friendships, have been introduced into the unfamiliar worlds of other creatives, and even had a wonderful new project idea.

One of the best things I've done since moving to Stockholm has been joining the Creative Lunch Club, a community I first discovered back in Australia and was so happy to find here too! These catchups have been such a great way to connect with other creatives, share stories and experiences, and feel part of the design community here. I've met some incredibly talented and kind people through these catch-ups, and it's helped me explore more of Stockholm too!

Creatives meeting and talking over lunch
The Creative Lunch Club is a fantastic initiative and a powerful network for me as a creative. Beyond sharing meals and meeting people, I made good friends and found clients over time. It was surprising to learn that CLC is present in many European cities, allowing me to stay connected even after moving.
