WinkedIn community gathering

Community in Practice

Over the past year our community has gathered regularly through WinkedIn lunches and small events across the Bay Area. These gatherings create space for entrepreneurs to step away from the day to day, connect, and build relationships that extend beyond a single event.

Interested in Joining Us?

If you are a woman entrepreneur or community leader in the Bay Area who values thoughtful conversation and genuine connection, we would love to welcome you to a future gathering.

WinkedIn lunches are intentionally small and designed to make it easy for everyone in the room to connect.
