Über uns
Welcome to The Expats Club Zurich!
This is a group for expats, diplomats and internationally minded expats in Zurich. As an expat you leave your social and professional networks behind and have to rebuild them from scratch. As an internationally minded local you also want to engage and interact with other internationally minded people and with expats. Join us to meet such like minded people and make new friends.
Our purpose is to connect international people, encourage greater understanding between cultures and help people create social support structures and professional networks rapidly.

Here you can see everyone from different cultures and races meeting and having a great time and this is what we tend to achieve everytime we host!
Here is how we will do things differently -
Ever since covid has occurred the world has changed ways in how we function and operate. Meeting people of various cultures has become difficult with various restrictions and with online events people rarely have the opportunity of meeting face to face and this results in not getting the right opportunity to meet in person.
We will always have hosts at all our events. You will always be greeted by someone
at all our events and introduced to others. (Warm & welcoming hosts to help you
mingle!)
Click on the link to know 6 key reasons why you should attend our meetups!
We will minimize no shows by requiring attendees to pay a deposit in advance. No
shows are misleading and not fun for organizers nor for members.
We will not disguise organization costs in opaque ticket prices, commissions from
bars or inflated set menu prices.
We will instead ask for a small charge to help us manage the group and its activities. (Very transparent)
We will strive to attract a high quality membership who prefer higher quality
venues and events. We will not be driven by happy hours, free food etc (as all
of these are eventually balanced out by much higher prices later)
We will constantly request members to help us host events and take a lead on
activities so that we have energy and variety.
