Hi friends!

We are SO excited to welcome you to the first On Connection dinner party in San Francisco. We wanted to create a space where folks could come to make meaningful connections and enjoy a damn good dinner party. On Connection is designed to help you get outside of your comfort zone and discuss topics that allow you to think beyond the day-to-day because we know that networking is outdated and making real friendships is hard.

Aside from that, events are often tailored to the industry you are apart of, connected to your place of employment or are costly member only social clubs. We wanted to create a dinner series that anyone could come to to enjoy delicious food and have a curated, elevated experience.

Each dinner will have a theme and a brief talk to get you thinking about topics that we often don’t discuss enough!

Then you will enjoy a 5 course meal from a local chef and drink pairings (both alcoholic and non).

Our events are created to form connections and we encourage you to feel comfortable to come alone. However, friends and partners are always welcome.

Theme: 

Pivot. What does it mean to pivot? Life is not short of twists and turns and often times we find ourselves in a season of pivoting. Whether it's trying to find a new job, navigating a relationship change, moving to a new city or simply dealing with everyday decisions that require us to change our direction and forge a new path. Embracing the pivot or welcoming new change is easier said than done. When we start to truly navigate change with grace and surround ourselves with people who challenge us to be the best version of ourselves we can think welcome change with excitement and expect new growth.

We will discuss pivoting, our fears and concerns, and how to embrace it fully to make this season of life abundant and full of growth.
