About this Event

An intentionally curated, small-group dinner designed for women leaders who crave real conversation, meaningful connection, and forward momentum without the awkward networking vibes.

This is not a mixer.

This is not a panel.

This is not a “pitch your business” night.

This is a long-table, slow-paced dinner where trust forms quickly, conversation goes deep, and women leave feeling energized—not drained.


What Is the Long-Slow Dinner?

The Long-Slow Dinner is a thoughtfully guided dining experience created to spark fast trust, honest dialogue, and catalytic momentum among women who are building and leading.

Inspired by relationship-driven leadership practices and adapted specifically for women entrepreneurs, this format prioritizes:

  1. Presence over performance
  2. Depth over small talk
  3. Connection over comparison

You won’t leave with a stack of business cards—you’ll leave with clarity, confidence, and new relationships that actually matter.


What This Experience Is (and Isn’t)

This is not:

  1. Networking
  2. A teaching or panel event
  3. Therapy or problem-dumping

This is:

  1. A host-led, thoughtfully guided conversation
  2. Intentional prompts that open up meaningful dialogue
  3. A space protected for honesty, curiosity, and expansion
  4. Leaders participating as hosts and co-creators—not speakers


The Intended Outcome

By the end of the dinner, you’ll leave:

  1. Clearer on what you want and where you’re headed
  2. Energized by the women you met
  3. Feeling genuinely seen and connected
  4. Naturally curious about deeper involvement with both communities

This dinner is meant to be a catalyst, not a one-off, a starting point for stronger relationships, future collaboration, and continued engagement.
