ABOUT
THE STORY
The dinner club was founded by Gemma Perlin & Phoebe Dodds in London in 2022, and has since expanded to Paris, Amsterdam, Berlin and NYC.
The concept? Join us for a delicious meal with a bunch of women who all do different—and equally exciting—things, meet some nice people, and be home on time to relax by 21h30.
While you're bound to meet some really interesting work connections at our dinners, networking comes to second to having inspiring conversations with great people.
Many of our guests have gone on to hire each other, collaborate on events, or even just co-work from time to time from cafés around London.
We've hosted 12+ dinners and events gathering 200+ people—and we're just getting started.
