Creative Lunch Club changed the game for me. The similar mindset and openness that most people meet through this community allows for deeper connections and a sense of belonging, no matter where we are. I've connected with people in 2 different countries now and I still talk and/or meet most of them and miss the ones I can't see soon. I have another scheduled lunch already.

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.

Thanks to Creative Lunch Club I found friends and inspiring conversations and connections with people that I probably would not have met otherwise. The process is easy and straight forward and everyone is so friendly, interesting and talented - what an amazing experience.

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 really enjoy meeting new people through Creative Lunch Club. I think it's a great way of making new contacts, especially as a foreigner in a new city.

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 found about the Creative Lunch Club I immediately thought I had to join. I live for design communities but so rarely we get opportunities to have these small group gatherings, so lunch feels like the ideal excuse to meet other creatives. Had the first one the other day and yep, it was a great experience and can't wait for the next.

Creatives meeting and talking over 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!

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.
