CreativeMornings x L’Alliance New York

It all started in 2008 when Tina Roth Eisenberg invited the creative community of NYC to join her in her co-working space for coffee and breakfast, once a month. She wanted an easy way for her creative community in NYC to come together, on a regular basis. Over the past 16 years, CreativeMornings has organically grown into the world’s largest face-to-face creative community, gathering creatives in over 200+ cities and 67 countries every month. Many describe CreativeMornings events as a wave of heart-forward optimism that is so moving, you can’t help but participate.

But most of all, CreativeMornings is a celebration of an unwavering belief in each other’s potential. Every month, 1,000 volunteers bring 20k+ creative types together for free breakfast and a talk. More over on the CreativeMornings about page.
