About us
The Creative Roundtable has been Portland's gathering place for the independent creative class since 2015. Not a networking event. Not a pitch fest. Just a table where working creatives show up, ask for help, share what they're building, and hold each other accountable.
Ten years in, we're turning a new chapter.
Fewer but better gatherings, paid workshops worth your weeknight, and a direct line to your inbox through our new newsletter.
We're building the next decade at thecreativeroundtable.com
That's where events get announced first and where the community lives now.
If you've been around the table before, welcome back. If you're new, pull up a chair.
Featured event

A Decade Later: You're Still Invited | June '26 Mixer
Ten years ago, a small group of Portland creatives pulled up chairs in the back of Nedspace and decided to stop working in isolation. That table became The Creative Roundtable; Portland's longest-running gathering for the independent creative class.
We're still here. And we just got a second wind.
This is the first gathering under a new blueprint. We're shifting how tCR shows up; quarterly free mixers, focused paid workshops, and new ways to use the tCR network to host your own events. Over the next few months, we're also saying a fond farewell to Meetup and making our home on Luma. This is where you'll find the full calendar going forward.
June 24th is the kickoff. Come see what's been drafted. Tell us what you're building. Bring a friend or neighbor.
