Join the Creative Lunch Club and meet other professional creatives for lunch.We hope this guide gives you a helpful overview of how creatives connect in Switzerland. Whether through professional networks, cultural institutions, or local initiatives, meeting other creatives often starts with being curious, engaged, and open to conversation.
If you are looking to put this into practice, Creative Lunch Club builds on these existing ways of connecting by bringing creatives together in small groups with a focus on meaningful conversations, making it easier to meet other creatives in a relaxed setting.
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.

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.

I am an East London girl with a busy life and have found it hard to meet like-minded creatives but after only using the creativelunchclub once, I met one of my soul mates. Not only are we doing some collaborating with her being a singer and myself working in fashion and modelling which has all been really useful but we have also become best friends. Loved my experience and would highly recommend it for anyone that wants to network in the creative ares and you never know, you might meet your bestie too.
