CreativeMornings is a free monthly breakfast lecture series designed for creative communities. In 2008, Tina Roth-Eisenberg founded the lecture series in Brooklyn, New York as 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.
Lecturers include professional creators, designers, photographers and illustrators.[1] CreativeMornings hosts events in over 180 cities worldwide in 65 countries. Their events are run by approximately 1,500 volunteer organizers.
