Join Creative Lunch Club
As a proud member of the Creative Lunch Club, I have connected with countless talented and inspiring creatives across Amsterdam, London, New York City, and Portland, OR. This community has enriched my international network and allowed me to collaborate with amazing freelancers on client projects for my purpose-driven creative agency. The Creative Lunch Club is a beacon of creativity and camaraderie in the industry.

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.
My first lunch was with Lea & Caroline, NYC designers like me and it was great to meet them outside of work in a casual setting. Creative Lunch Club does the hard part of linking me up with others when otherwise, I'd be so focused on work that I wouldn't have the energy to find like-minded people. And you make new friends.

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.
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.

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.
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.

I stumbled upon Creative Lunch Club and had my first lunch and loved it. If you are a creative looking to be less lonely in this sprawling city and have interesting conversations in Los Angeles, I recommend it.

Thanks for running such a great community! I'm so glad I took a chance and tried this for the first time, and I can't wait for the next month to roll around. Excited to see this network grow!
