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.

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.

Everything about Creative Lunch Club makes me happy - the concept, the people and the vibe. It is such a fun way of getting to meet like-minded people and make new friends in your city!

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.

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.
