New stomping ground for int’l creatives in Copenhagen

Over the last few months, I’ve seen a lot of media buzz about Copenhagen’s status as a “creative capital.” In other words, a hot-and-happening European city that attracts creative, cosmopolitan professionals from around the world in much the same way that London, Paris, and New York have done for quite a while.

Sure, it’s been nice to hear that we’re surrounded by driven, adventurous, and international peers - whether they’re foreigners who’ve relocated to Copenhagen or Danes who’ve lived abroad. But now (finally!) we can actually meet each other.

Custom House - the collective of French, Italian and Japanese restaurants on the waterfront by Nyhavn (appropriately created and managed by London-based Conran Restaurants) - is taking on the task of gathering creative expat minds over tapas and wine.

Check out the invitation here. The upcoming event will be Custom House’s third - and the first two seem to have been a hit.

The evening sounds like a great opportunity to meet some fun people in what my Danish friend - who always seems to know the cool locals’ spot-of-the-moment - described as the place to be. If the location, ambiance and food are as good as people say they are, this expat night might turn into quite a popular trend - definitely worth a try.

Hope to see some of you at Custom House, Havnegade 44, at 18:00 on Tuesday, September 25th. The invitation is open to all internationally-oriented minds - and as you’re reading this on a site about international communication, that means you!

    Thanks for the tip, AP. I’ve been to Custom House before and had some good food with great company. I’ll be in town that week, so I reckon I’ll sign up…after weeks of small-town isolation in Norway, I could do with some international creativity!

    I’ve always seen Copenhagen as a place with strong expat groups, even though they haven’t always been easy to find. Through the years, I’ve found groups of Americans, Brits, New Zealanders, Australians, and South Africans, to name just a few. What sounds good about this new initiative is that it seems to be trying to cross cultural boundaries by appealing to a common interest.
