Creative Boom's IRL Meetups Expand with New Sponsorships

Creative professionals, rejoice! Creative Boom IRL is expanding its reach with the support of Affinity and Cavalry by Canva, bringing free meetups to cities like Glasgow, New York, Shrewsbury, and Nottingham.

These informal gatherings emphasize connection over presentations. Forget panels and pitches; it's all about creatives mingling in relaxed settings. Whether you're a designer, illustrator, photographer, or writer, these events invite anyone in the creative field to join and engage face-to-face.

Since launching last spring, Creative Boom IRL has already hosted events across numerous UK cities, including Belfast, Birmingham, and Manchester, plus a successful gathering in Brooklyn. The atmosphere is welcoming and unpretentious, resembling a casual night at the pub with new friends who share similar professional interests.

Adam, marketing lead at Cavalry, expresses enthusiasm about the partnership, highlighting the importance of peer connections amidst the often solitary nature of creative work. "These events are crucial for freelancers and studio heads who need to network and share experiences," he noted.

With more events on the calendar, all free and accessible to anyone in the creative sector, it's advisable to register early as some meetups fill up quickly. While you don’t need to be part of The Studio, Creative Boom’s online community, to attend, joining offers a platform for continued conversation and networking between meetups.
