In 2008, Tina Roth Eisenberg (Swissmiss) started CreativeMornings out of a desire for an ongoing, accessible event for New York’s creative community. The concept was simple: breakfast and a short talk one Friday morning a month. Every event would be free of charge and open to anyone. Today, attendees gather in cities around the world to enjoy fresh coffee, friendly people, and an international array of breakfast foods. Volunteer hosts and their team members organize local chapters that not only celebrate a city’s creative talent, but also promote an open space to connect with like-minded individuals. The growing archive of past breakfast talks is humbling. From design legends to hometown heroes, speakers are selected by each chapter based on a global theme. Chicago was the 5th established chapter back in 2011. Our events are free to attend and the room is full of good vibes and great people. Our audience is usually anywhere from 100–300 people every month and our attendees come from all spectrums of the creative community—designers, makers, and artists to entrepreneurs, business owners, and social innovators. Come check us out! We'd love to meet you at our next event!
