And that's a wrap! (Until next month! 😉) We're still coming down from all the excitement from #CMBlossom, What a rush! The venue was rammed, the space was stunning, and the vibes were immaculate! And to top it off, it was Tatiana’s birthday - what a wonderful gift! 🎂🌸 So much effort, planning, and organisation goes into our events, and we just have to take a moment to thank everyone who made this morning so special. A massive thanks to our speaker, Tatiana Isidorsson Albino, for her incredibly moving talk about the power of collective creativity. Her message about amplifying voices and building genuine community really resonated with the crowd, and as a longtime member of the CreativeMornings family, it was an absolute pleasure giving her the space to share her story. 🥹 Another huge thanks to our wonderful hosts, Start Communication | More Alliance, for letting us take over their beautiful space and keeping us all fed and caffeinated throughout! ☕ And a special shout-out to the Start Communication | More Alliance team for showing us around their incredible office. Wandering around four floors, meeting creatives from all their different agencies, and getting a proper behind-the-scenes look at how it all works was an absolute treat. (See you again next month! 👀) Finally, a huge thanks to you (and us!), the CreativeMornings family! Our events wouldn't be the successes they are without the excitement and energy our wonderfully diverse community brings each month. We've grown so much this year, but the warmth and genuine enthusiasm around our events have only got stronger. And a huge part of that is down to our amazing CreativeMornings volunteers, who pour their hearts into making every morning special. Thank you all for being part of this. 🙌 We hope to see you all at the next event, same place, (roughly) same time! ☺️ 📸 Sayalee Chaudhary ✍️ Luke Farrelly-Spain

We wrapped up the long winter season with one final gathering before the summer break , and what a send-off it was with the incredible Creative Mornings Gothenburg community! ☀️✨ Now it’s time to give a big thank you to our amazing May event collaborators. 🫶 💬 A huge shoutout to our speaker, Siri Bergnéhr, co-founder of AFRY’s groundbreaking FemTech initiative. Siri reminded us of the importance of women’s empowerment with a powerful message: “Women are not small men.” Thank you, Siri, for sharing your insights and passion with us. 🏡 Endless thanks to International House Gothenburg for once again welcoming us into their warm and stylish space, and for the delicious breakfast that made everyone feel right at home. 🎨 Much love to Kurt Lightner and his inspiring Sit & Draw. Kurt brings people together through creativity like no one else, and we’re so grateful to have shared that energy with our community. 👏 And of course, thank YOU, our wonderful guests. Each of you makes this community what it is. Your presence, your energy, and your good vibes are what keep CreativeMornings Gothenburg growing and glowing.

Ladies and gentlemen 🔊 Are you ready to meet the speaker for #CMGothenburg’s May event themed #CMRevival? 🪩 Here she is! Siri Bergnéhr, designer and one of the co-founders of AFRY’s own FemTech initiative, will be joining us to share her inspiring story. ✨ Siri is a strong and courageous individual who made the bold decision to leave behind 15 years of experience to embark on a new journey aligned with her values. She began her career 18 years ago as a fashion designer. 👠 But after more than a decade in the fashion industry, Siri realized that its ethical values no longer resonated with her own. With determination, she revived her career path and chose to study digital design, a decision that eventually led her to AFRY. It’s this bold mindset that brings Siri to the stage at our May event.🌟 As a warm-up, let’s hear directly from Siri: “What we need is a few more revivals. A revival of empathy and understanding. Kindness and caring. It’s time for a revival of the golden rule. It’s up to you to distill the best of the past and create a better future.” 🎨 Annika Janefur ✍️ Şule Kaya Hult

May’s global theme is REVIVAL. It was chosen by our Fort Worth chapter in Texas and illustrated by Mariell Guzman.

And that's a wrap! (For another month at least!) ✨

Another incredible #cmcrossroads lost it. We carry it with us every day! Maybe we just need to remember how to tap into it now and then... 🤔

A huge thanks to Jonaz Björk for his deeply personal and inspiring story about embracing playfulness and never losing your spark. 💫 Society and responsibility push us to take ourselves so seriously, locking away that playful side of us. But the thing is, we haven't really lost it. We carry it with us every day! Maybe we just need to remember how to tap into it now and then... 🤔

As always, a massive shoutout to our venue and loyal partners, International House Gothenburg , for hosting us in their bright and cozy space! We owe them so much, not just for the perfect platform to gather but for keeping us fueled with food and caffeine! ☕❤️

And finally, the biggest thank-you goes to you, our amazing community. That means you in the crowd, and YOU, our amazing volunteers, reading this too! 🙌

Whether you're a familiar face or joining us for the first time, these events wouldn't exist without your energy and passion. The CreativeMornings family keeps growing, and that's the most exciting part of all. 🎉 On to next month... whatever that 𝙈𝙖𝙮 brings! 👀

🚨🚨 Speaker Alert! 🚨🚨 We’re thrilled to welcome Jonaz Björk as this month’s #CMCrossroads speaker! Crossroads can be equal parts daunting and electrifying, those rare moments where uncertainty and curiosity collide. They shape not just our personal stories, but the world around us, with choices that ripple far beyond what we could ever imagine. Yet somewhere along the way, we lost touch with our playful side and allowed seriousness to take over. Have we let practicality smother the playfulness that makes these leaps not just possible, but even 𝘫𝘰𝘺𝘧𝘶𝘭? In our current world full of gloom and hefty decisions, Jonaz invites us to trade fear for playfulness, and rigidity for collective exploration. As a facilitator and coach, he’s spent years using playfulness to bridge divides, whether in boardrooms or community projects. In this talk, he’ll present a lively case for how curiosity (and even a little confusion!) can reframe how we face life’s crossroads, as well as offering a much-needed nudge to stop taking ourselves so damn seriously! 🎟️ Tickets will be dropping soon! Expect the unexpected and keep an eye out for more updated and announcements in the coming weeks. 👀 📆 When: Friday, April 25th 📍 Where: International House Gothenburg, Järnvågsgatan 3 ☕🎤 Mingle & Talk: 07:30 – 09:00 🎨 Ressy Reji Kuruvlla ✍️ Luke Farrelly-Spain

Our theme for April is CROSSROADS. It was chosen by our Wroclaw chapter in Poland, illustrated by Joanna Gniady, and is presented by Adobe.

We all reach turning points in life that change the course of our destiny. Should you continue straight? Or turn left? There’s no map that shows where the consequences lead.

In folklore and mythology, crossroads represent a gateway between our mortal coil and the supernatural realm. An in-between place of transition, where anything can happen next.

How do you decide which way to go? There’s no wrong choice. Only different journeys to where you’re meant to be.

It’s so good to be back! 😄

What an absolutely electric event to kick off the year! ⚡ We’re bursting with gratitude for everyone who came together to make #CMJourney as successful and inspiring as it was! 🙌 A huge thank you to our incredible speakers, Chengyashu Huang and Stefan Lundin, for sharing their unique yet deeply interlinked journeys. 🌍 Chengyashu’s story of moving from China to Sweden—navigating cultural differences, finding common ground, and building bridges—was both inspiring and heartwarming. 💛 Stefan’s insights into the challenges and rewards of working across cultures, especially in global business environments, reminded us of the power of openness and collaboration. 🤝 In a time of much uncertainty and turmoil in the world, their talks were a humbling and refreshing reminder of the importance of intercultural understanding. The individual actions we take in our daily lives, whether in personal interactions or professional settings, have an enormous impact on the world around us. ✨ We’re also deeply grateful to the West Sweden Chamber of Commerce for hosting us in their stunning venue! From the seamless staging to the delicious breakfast, their hospitality was unmatched. But beyond that, the space itself felt like a natural extension of the event’s vision—a place where cultures, ideas, and innovation come together! 💡 It was the perfect backdrop for a morning dedicated to building bridges and fostering collaboration! And as always, a huge shoutout to our outstanding CreativeMornings Gothenburg community! 🎉 We know how hard it is in these harsh winter months to find motivation (and get up early!). But your passion, curiosity, and warmth never fail to inspire us. It’s your energy and enthusiasm that turn these gatherings into spaces of connection, creativity, and joy. 🧡 Plenty more inspiring events to come—the year has just begun! 👀 📸 Mateusz Pozar ✍️ Luke Farrelly-Spain
