The Social BeeHive

Creatives Connect is a meetup where artists, photographers, writers, videographers, designers, and other creatives come together to meet like-minded people.
Whether you’re working on a project, building a portfolio or simply looking for inspiration or networking, this is a space to connect!

No tickets needed for this event, but just a drink from the bar to support the venue.

This is the Speed Networking Edition, where we have rounds of quick conversations. During this, you’ll change tables every few minutes to chat with the next creatives. It’s a fun and easy way to meet new people and in just a few rounds, you might leave with new contacts, fresh ideas and maybe even future collaborators.
Besides the speed networking, there will also be time for our Creatives Network Borrel, where you can freely talk and connect with the other attendees.

Don’t forget your (online) business cards and portfolios so you can easily exchange contact information.

Schedule:
19:00 – Doors open & welcome
19:45 – Speed networking*
20:30 - Creatives network borrel & free networking
22:00 – End of event
*If you want to join the speed networking, arrive before this time. Otherwise feel free to join from 20:30 for the borrel.
