About
Open Space Club

The Open Space Club is your launchpad for creativity & connection. Think of it as a weekly rendezvous point where global talent comes together to share, create, and vibe.

Each gathering is intentionally small and carefully curated (max. 10 people) – we believe magic happens when the right people cross paths. We’re building a galaxy of inspiration one meetup at a time.

And here’s the twist: One spot at every event is reserved for a Wild Card – a chance for anyone to join. Because in this universe, we’re all stars.

Your Host

Marina Geckeler

Hi, I’m Marina – a photographer, storyteller, and someone who thrives on connection. As much as I love capturing moments, I equally love meeting inspiring people who challenge me to see the world differently.

When I looked around the creative industry, I realized there was something missing – a space that isn’t just about work, but about meaningful human connections. A place where photographers, models, designers, and artists can come together, share ideas, and grow through collaboration. That’s why I created the Open Space Club.

This is my first time hosting something like this, and I couldn’t be more excited. Cape Town is a city full of energy and beauty, and I wanted to create something that matches its spirit – a weekly gathering where we can inspire each other, try new things, and maybe even start something extraordinary together.

I believe that together, we’re stronger than we could ever be alone. Open Space Club is about sparking those connections that make you grow, and most importantly, having fun while doing it.

Let’s build this together.

With love,

Marina
