ODDfest and Creative Lunch Club are joining forces for the ODDest Creative Lunch yet.

Creative Lunch Club is a global community and socializing platform for people working in the creative industries, connecting creatives on a monthly basis for a joint lunch.

Already bringing thousands of people together in over 150 cities across Europe, North America, Australia, Asia, and Africa, Creative Lunch Club is driven by many of the same passions as ODDfest—fostering cooperation, linking creative industries, and sparking inspiration.

United especially by the love for the creative community, ODDfest and Creative Lunch Club are now teaming up to help Helsinki creatives find each other, share ideas, and build inspiring new connections together.

Join our first collaborative lunch on the 14th of November at Via Tribunali in Kallio, Helsinki. See event details listed at the bottom part of the letter.

The event news don’t stop there, as we’re happy to welcome a sequel to our beloved music vertical.

Following the warm response to the first Kaleidoscope, the much-needed industry conversation now continues with a second edition powered by ODDfest on the 4th of November.

Once more, Kaleidoscope brings together artists and music industry professionals for an evening of open discussion, shared experiences, and peer-support.

The goal is simple: to build a space and a community where art, work, and collaboration meet naturally, without hierarchies or barriers.

Hosted by two music scene veterans, Lotta Savolainen and Jonas Verwijnen, the discussion blends perspectives from the Finnish music field with insights from international creative work.

The good news keep on rolling.

Our brand new online community on Discord has already hit 100 members in just two weeks!

We couldn’t be happier that so many of you have already wanted to jump in to share, discuss, connect, and stay close to the conversation and everything happening around ODDfest.

By ODDones for ODDones, the community surrounding ODDfest is who the event has been built by and for. We appreciate the contribution, feedback, time, and effort more than you know.

100 and beyond—we’re super excited for where this community is headed.
