It all began in August 2020 with a simple idea: our founder, Alberto, hosted a casual gathering with a few friends in a coffee shop. After a long period of self-isolation due to the pandemic, people longed for social interactions, and the attendees positively welcomed this get-together. From then on, every month, Alberto organised gatherings whereby more and more people joined in.

Our development from a small gathering in a coffee shop to the thriving community that is The Aperitif has been a remarkable journey. What started with a handful of people quickly transformed into a network as attendees began bringing friends, colleagues, and acquaintances. To keep things fresh and exciting, we decided to switch up our venues every month, offering our attendees diverse settings and atmospheres.

As our numbers grew, we recognised the importance of expanding our horizons. We aimed to attract professionals from various industries, limiting attendees within the same field to foster diverse interactions and enrich networking opportunities. Last year, we decided to launch a new concept to elevate the value of our gatherings further, whereby we introduced occasional guest speakers who share their insights and knowledge.

June Aperitif [ 26.06.25 | 7 PM ]

June brings a shift in pace - families prepare for summer, long days invite new possibilities and the business world takes a moment to reflect before the season slows down. Before everyone escapes to holiday mode, join us for our June Aperitif - an evening to connect, exchange ideas and plan for the opportunities ahead. Let’s make the most of this vibrant time together. We look forward to seeing you there.

Aperitif entry fee for non-members - €55 ex VAT. Refund policy applies*. 
Non-members are allowed to attend only four times per year. 

We have a few events planned for the upcoming months. Explore our initiatives below and register to secure your spot.

With summer at its peak and a well-earned break on the horizon, our July Aperitif is your last chance to connect before we pause for August. Let’s make it count! Join us for an evening of great company, lively conversations and new connections to carry into the months ahead. The next time we meet will be in September - so don’t miss this one.

We take a break from our Aperitif in August, knowing that many of you spend this time exactly where you should be — with family, loved ones and a slower pace that matters just as much as professional success.

September marks the return of fresh ideas, renewed energy and that familiar momentum in business. It’s also the birthday month of our founder (and perhaps yours too?), making it a perfect reason to reconnect and celebrate together.

Join us for our September Aperitif: an evening of conversation, connection and new perspectives as we ease into the final stretch of the year. We look forward to seeing you there.

Every gathering holds moments worth living twice – once when they happen, and again when we look back.
Thanks to the keen eye of our talented photographer, we are able to capture the spirit, connections, and conversations that make each Aperitif so special.
These glimpses allow our community to revisit the atmosphere and energy we create together and invite others to be part of it.

May Event

With a sea breeze in the air and conversations carried well into the evening, our May Aperitif felt like a gentle pause before summer truly took hold. Set outdoors, with curious minds and cheerful faces all around, it was one of those gatherings where time slipped by unnoticed – in the best possible way.

Thank you to everyone who brought their spark and made it another evening to smile about. The photos say the rest.

April Event

Our April Aperitif had a little bit of everything – warm conversations, a lively breeze, and a sunset backdrop that made the evening all the more special. As it happened, the event coincided with Malta’s Startup Summit and we were delighted to welcome some of its participants into the mix. Conversations took all sorts of interesting turns – just as the wind did – and it was brilliant to see new ideas and fresh connections taking shape. A big thank you to everyone who joined us and made the evening what it was. Enjoy the photos – they tell the story better than we ever could!

Our March Aperitif brought together a brilliant mix of people, conversations and unexpected moments – from thoughtful discussions to bursts of laughter, all reflected in the expressions of our guests. A special thank you to Bahia Restaurant for always welcoming us with such warmth, providing the perfect setting for another splendid evening. And to everyone who joined us – your energy and stories made it truly memorable. See you at the next one.
