Join Creative Lunch Club
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.
I recently moved to Barcelona and was looking for ways to meet new people in the city. The Creative Lunch is such a convenient and fun way to meet new people! I learnt a lot from the other two, who have been here much longer than I have. I can't wait for the next one!

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 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.

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.
Creative Lunch Club is the easiest most low-key way to grow your network, maybe even make some new friends, share expertise, lift each other up, and perhaps end up working together on something.

The Creative Lunch Club has been a fantastic way to connect with like-minded creatives in Budapest. As a photographer, working alone can feel isolating, so meeting new people has been refreshing. Some have offered valuable advice, and others have become collaborators, making this experience truly rewarding.

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.
