WHAT WE DO
"It’s a place where being curious about everything is not just welcomed, it's celebrated."
Dubai’s creative scene deserves a space where brilliantly creative minds can meet, connect and collaborate outside the corporate boardrooms and traditional networks.
We tried other communities and networks but couldn’t find a space that truly felt like us… so we decided to build it ourselves.
Yes, Dubai has plenty of clubs, communities and memberships but, most are designed for the C-Suite, Founders, or Entrepreneurs. What about everyone else shaping ideas behind the scenes?
This is that space.
We’re building a community open to all levels within the creative and marketing industries. Whether you’re an intern, freelancer, employee, business owner or industry leader, it doesn’t matter. What matters most is a passion for creativity and a willingness to share, learn and grow.
Our goal is simple: to bring together the best “makers” and “minds” across the region. We want to inspire creativity, spark collaboration and create a space where ideas can be bounced around freely. If you’re the type who sees possibility everywhere, whether you’re crafting brands, planning experiences or just thinking, “what if we tried something different?” - you’ve found your people.
Who is this new community for? Artists, Designers, Filmmakers, Copywriters, Event Visionaries, Strategists, Marketers, Brand Builders, and those who are simply curious about the creative and marketing world.
Interns, Juniors, Freelancers, Side-Hustlers, Business Owners, Industry leaders, everyone has a place here.
Expect great conversation and people who get it!
Ahmed, Founder Metaphor X
"The Makers & Minds Collective fills a much-needed gap in Dubai’s creative scene. It’s a rare, agenda-free space where talented, artistic minds can share ideas, collaborate, and build genuine connections. Being part of this community is energizing and inspiring, and I’m excited to see how it continues to grow and bring creative people together."
Melissa, Founder Just Honest Events
"I wanted to be a part of Makers & Minds collective because I wholeheartedly believe the most exciting ideas come from collaboration. Being surrounded by curious, creative people pushes me to think differently and create work that matters. I’ve seen so many communities aimed at Founders/Csuite or specific niches, but I couldn’t find one truly focussed on inspiring collaboration across the whole creative eco-system."
