Pane e Formaggio Café
Café Night
SOLD OUT! Join the Waitlist
It's our much-loved café night -- this time in an actual café!
Join us for a night of in-person networking, chit-chat, and strategy sharing between women in male-dominated industries.
This is an IRL networking event for all of our Vancouver-based WIMDI members.
Here's the Plan:
- Meet at Pane e Formaggio Café in Yaletown
- Order delicious mochas, jasmine tea, muffins, etc.
- Meet some cool women and chat about our work lives
- Exchange cards, phone numbers, facepages, myfriend accounts, tiktaks, instapics, snaptexts, or whatever it is that the kids are using these days to stay in touch
- Stay in touch! Or....failing that, we'll do it all again in four weeks, so don't worry, we've got your back.
Location:
Pane e Formaggio Café, at 868 Beatty Street (Beatty & Smithe), Vancouver, BC.
Parking: There is limited paid street parking or parkades on the streets surrounding the café.
Transit: The nearest mass transit hub is just two blocks away at Yaletown-Roundhouse Skytrain Station (on the Canada Line) or Stadium-Chinatown Skytrain Station (on the Expo Line).
Additional information about planning your trip via transit can be found here: Translink Trip Planner
Accessibility & Covid Precautions
The café is on a single level with an accessible entrance.
The café has an accessible washroom.
- This in-person event is being held indoors.
- Masking is encouraged for any WIMDI members who prefer to wear them for their own safety and/or comfort.
- Worried about being the only one in a mask? You won’t be alone! WIMDI’s founder Holly is committed to wearing a mask with any WIMDI member who wants to so you have an automatic friend and ally.
- Need anything else to make it as safe as possible for you to join us at Walk, Talk & Ice Cream? Drop Holly a note at hello@wimdi.com and we’ll make a plan so you can have a great (& safe) time with your fellow WIMDIs!
Attendance Notes:
All WIMDI Café Nights are restricted to those who do not currently identify as cisgender men. These events have limited attendance and often involve personal discussion, debate, and advice specific to dynamics underrepresented minorities in these industries experience. We are happy for cisgendered men to learn and participate in WIMDI conversation at most of our other events, but we reserve the Café Nights as a space for women* to connect with each other freely and openly.
*WIMDI uses an inclusive definition of women that means "people who are in a gender minority in their field". This includes trans individuals, genderqueer, agender, intersex, two spirit, and non-binary folks. If you are not sure if you are included, please err on the side of attending our events! Feel free to reach out to the Organizer, Holly Burton, with any questions and for an automatic welcoming face and first-friend at any WIMDI event.
WIMDI events are for parents too! We know childcare can occasionally be a challenge, but we don't think that should stop you from connecting and learning with us. WIMDI doesn't offer childcare at our events, but we'd love you to bring your little one along with some quiet activities to occupy them. Suitable for ages 0+.
By attending this event, you agree to adhere to WIMDI's code of conduct, which you can find at wimdi.com/code-of-conduct.
This WIMDI event does not have photography.
