So lovely and energizing to connect with other designers, bonding over shared experiences, loves/qualms about our work, how to avoid creative burnout, what we're looking forward to, and so on. Looking forward to continuing to make these thoughtful connections and have meaningful conversations.

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.

As someone who can be pretty introverted, Creative Lunch Club has been a really nice push to meet people outside my usual circles. I’ve loved hearing how other creatives found their way into what they do—the pivots, side projects, unexpected career paths and everything in between. The conversations always go beyond “what do you do?” and I leave feeling energized, with a new perspective, a recommendation or two, and someone I’m genuinely glad I met.

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.

I've met so many wonderful people this year trough Creative Lunch Club. It's been a great way to meet people in different industries and has been way more personal and fun than networking events.

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.

I moved to Brussels a year and a half ago, from a small town, to pursue more photography opportunities. The Creative Lunch Club has been instrumental in helping me connect with other creatives and discover the wonders of this city. Sharing lunch with like-minded creatives has opened up new ideas and perspectives for me. The passion and energy from these gatherings never fail to inspire and motivate me.

Creatives meeting and talking over lunch
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.

Lunch club is such a great initiative for freelance creatives. As someone who works mostly from home, it's refreshing to meet people outside my circle and hear what's going on in other creative industries. It's also interesting to sit down with people of all ages and levels of experience.
