About

The Creative Lunch Club is a community for people working in the creative industries.

Whether you are a graphic designer, a photographer, a marketer, or a filmmaker, the Creative Lunch Club gives you the chance to regularly meet other creatives in your city for lunch.

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 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 love to get inspired by fellow creatives and the Creative Lunch Club makes this easy for me. The conversations during these lunches have always an energizing impact on me.

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 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.

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.

The Creative Lunch Club has been truly an amazing opportunity to meet fellow creatives. I've matched with so many interesting people and have attended events, gone for coffee, met up multiple times with the same people, growing my network and friendships. Big shout out to the Creative Lunch Club and continue doing what you do best.

Creative Lunch Club is an amazing initiative for us creatives to meet others who are like-minded. As creatives we have our friends, colleagues and acquaintances, but having the opportunity to connect and get to know other operators who are inspiring and each have a story to tell is what our industry needs more of – to feel a part of a community.

Creatives meeting and talking over lunch
So I've just moved back to my home town after living overseas for 3 years and I've always had trouble meeting creative people that are my vibe. I figured Brisbane just didn't have many creatives. I signed up for creative lunch club and boy did they pull through. I met two people my age and in the exact same position as me, just moved here and looking for creative friends. We all clicked immediately and started making all the plans before going for a drive together and extending out hang out. So excited for the next meetup! Couldn't recommend this more, it's such a great concept.
