Want to Host a Pexels Meetup? Here's How!

We're making it easier for you to connect with other photographers where you live.

Here at Pexels, we've organized quite a few events to help photographers meet each other. In cities like Chicago, New York, Toronto, and São Paulo, we've hosted small and large events alike, with the goal of connecting local photographers and creators.

These events have always been a blast! But we can only organize events in so many locations — and we know that our community is global. We want photographers to have the chance to attend fun meetups no matter where they live.

That's why we are so excited to announce Pexels Meetups. Our goal is simple: we want to make it easier for photographers all over the world to meet each other and grow their photography skills together.

You don't need to know tons of people, have a big following on social media, or be a pro photographer to host a Pexels Meetup. You just need to love photography! Here are a few meetup ideas you could try:

  • A photo walk in a local neighborhood or park
  • Meeting at a cafe to chat about photography
  • Editorial photo shoot with local models
  • Q+A session with a local photographer
  • Visit to a photography museum or gallery
  • Any other fun local activity you can think of!

Interested in organizing a Pexels Meetup in your area? All you need to do is fill out the quick form linked below, and let us know your idea and where you are located. You will also need to share a link to your Pexels profile or your Instagram.

If our team approves your idea, we will post it on the Pexels website, where people can RSVP to attend. We will also share your meetup with photographers in your area! While we can't offer sponsorships for meetups, we can help ensure that there is a great turnout.
