Our Story
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 and online via Virtual FieldTrips to enjoy creative inspiration and meaningful connections.
Our volunteer hosts and their teams organize local chapters that not only celebrate their city’s creative talent, but also create an open space to connect with other big-hearted individuals.
What makes CreativeMornings so special? This video captures the love and magic that goes into everything we do…
Our ever-growing archive of past talks is a treasure trove. From design legends to hometown heroes, speakers are selected by their local chapter based on a global theme every month.
Our events remain free thanks to the support of local partners, generous venues, and our global partners. Everyone is welcome. Everyone is creative. (Just register beforehand to reserve your spot, because tickets go fast.) And if you need a little help convincing your boss to let you attend, we’ve got you covered. Remember to set your alarm and we’ll see you in the morning!

What We Believe: The CreativeMornings Manifesto
Everyone is creative.
A creative life requires bravery and action, honesty and hard work. We are here to support you, celebrate with you, and encourage you to make the things you love.
We believe in the power of community. We believe in giving a damn. We believe in face-to-face connections, in learning from others, in hugs and high fives.
We bring together people who are driven by passion and purpose, confident that they will inspire one another, and inspire change in neighborhoods and cities around the world.
Everyone is welcome.
