How we come together
Formats designed to fit the way leaders learn and grow.
General events
This is where the conversation continues—after the lights go down.
The WhatsApp group is a space to follow up, exchange ideas, share resources, and build real momentum between events. It’s where informal chats turn into real collaborations—and where the heart of the community lives.
History
Our Track Record
Growth Club started in 2016 as the Growth Hacking Meetup—a small, grassroots gathering for digital minds in Zurich.
Since then, the community has grown to over 1’500 members and evolved into Growth Club Zurich: a platform for curated, content-rich, community-first gatherings.
Now, approaching our 10-year mark, we’ve rebranded and expanded the format—introducing private sessions, launching a WhatsApp community, and continuing to create spaces where the right conversations lead to real growth.

Luke is joined by Lisa Smith, our dedicated Community Manager, who ensures every session is curated with care and that every speaker and guest feels truly welcome.
Growth Club is powered by what., with our full team contributing behind the scenes to turn the Club into a space for honest exchange, fresh thinking, and practical insights.
