WE ARE FOR CREATIVES
Glug is a vibrant hub of designers and creatives who crave inspiration✨, career elevation, cutting-edge ideas💡, discovering fresh perspectives 🌱, and networking with the best minds in the business! 🤓
We're a global community dedicated to championing creativity and independent thinking. At the heart of what we do is Notworking™—the art of crafting spaces that spark fresh ideas, innovative processes, and groundbreaking conversation.
Join us for a mix of talks 🎤, live art 🧑🎨, exhibitions🗿, workshops 🗣️ and inspiration 💫* — direct from leading individuals, agencies and brands in the creative space.
*Oh, and to enjoy a drink and a laugh while learning from the best!
2007
Glug is born
Born in London, Glug started as a side-hustle and stood as a revolution to the then stiff, boring and awkward corporate networking landscape.
2019
Takeover
What started as 20 people in a pub grew to a GLOBAL movement, hosting over 120 events annually in in 35+ cities around the world!
2021
QUARANTINI
The global COVID-19 pandemic shook the event industry and forced us to put Glug on ice while the world settled. (cocktail, anyone?)
2024+
PHOENIX ERA
After a 3 year hiatus we’re back baby! The people yearn for epic nights of Notworking™, activations, short talks and long drinks.
