LongLunch is a not-for-profit company that organises informal lectures/talks/events from respected individuals and companies in the design industry. Our aim is to bring together designers from all walks of life, from students to Creative Directors, in evenings of design inspiration and discussion.

LongLunch has been running talks since January 2003, and in that time we’ve arranged over 25 talks to an estimated audience of 2,500 designers in the UK. See below for a complete list of our previous speakers and the locations and dates of those talks. Our events are normally located in Edinburgh, Glasgow and London.
