Join us for the You Are The Media Lunch Club, a space to connect, learn and spend time with good people doing meaningful work.
We’re back at The Alma, Wandsworth, London, as part of the Lunch Club learning year that runs through to April 2026, leading into Creator Day in May.
Lunch Club is our way of coming together as well as the road to Creator Day 2026, that is at the seaside next May.
The format is simple.
A theme. Limited tech. Good food. And plenty of conversation that stays with you long after lunch is over.
What Makes Lunch Club Different?
We’ve been figuring out how to make live events feel real and memorable since 2016.
Business events don’t need to be dull. Think of this as a production and everyone in the room plays a part in the show.
Spend your afternoon, from 12.30pm to 2pm for the session (and lunch).
Don’t go back to work, why not stay out? You’re going to be in the safe hands of our hosts Catherine Turner and Jon Burkhart to make you feel at home.
For our February event, we’ll explore ‘connection.’ It’s about knowing people are on your side.
You were never meant to do all this on your own. All of us is better than one of us.
This Lunch Club will explore how connection helps us grow, stay grounded, and create work that lasts, together.
How Am I Going To Learn From This Session?
We promise this is not just about sitting and listening.
Our events are built around participation, a panel that shares different experiences and insights, followed by space for everyone to add their voice. It’s a conversation, not a lecture.
At this Lunch Club, you’ll explore:
How to build genuine connection — not just contacts, but relationships that last and feel real.
Why connection fuels confidence — the more you share and show up, the stronger your footing becomes.
Ways to create belonging — whether that’s in your work, community, or audience.
How to keep connections alive — turning one-off moments into ongoing conversations.
How connection shapes opportunity — because the right people around you change what’s possible.
You’ll leave with ideas to strengthen how you connect, online, offline, and with the people who matter most to your work and growth.
What To Expect:
The event is going to be in the private dining space in The Alma.
Your booking is going to include lunch and you to kick back. It’s not a buffet lunch, we’ll send to you, your menu and for you to choose.
When the event has finished, we don’t want you to leave. Stay, get to chat to others and know it was an afternoon well spent.
YATM Club members receive the discounted rate. If you’re not a member and would like to join YATM Club, read more and join here.
