Creative Lunch Club

Become a Creative Lunch Club host

You know a great place to eat, and you like bringing people together. That is all a Creative Lunch Club host needs.

Pick the place and the date, and we will fill the table with creatives from your city.

What a host does

You choose where and when. A restaurant you love, your studio, your own kitchen, or a park for a picnic.

On the day, you welcome people as they arrive and get the conversation going. That is really all it takes.

We do the rest: we announce your meetup to our members, handle the bookings, send the reminders and give you the guest list before the day.

When I joined Creative Lunch Club, I didn't expect to connect with people who live in the same neighbourhood as me. It's pretty cool to build a community of creatives in your vicinity, especially because it's easier to nurture those connections when you live in a big city. I love it.

Why host

You get to know the creatives in your city, with a new table every time.

You are the person who brought them together, and people remember that.

Your host profile appears on the page of every meetup you put on, with your photo, a few lines about your work and your links.

Many ways to host

Creatives take a group to a restaurant they love.

Studios, galleries and coworking spaces welcome members into their own place.

Private chefs and hobby chefs cook for a table of guests.

Conferences, festivals, brands and communities do something together with us.

Creative Lunch Club has been an inspiring way to connect with fellow designers, virtually and in-person. I love sharing exciting events with others – like AIGA DC's Design Week – and hearing firsthand what people want more of in our creative community. It's a great space for conversation, collaboration, and discovering new perspectives.
