Frequently
asked
Who are these dinners for?
Senior product designers, design managers, researchers, and design-adjacent leaders in tech. Whether you're leading teams or exploring your next big idea, you'll feel at home here.
How much does it cost?
Typically ~$50 to cover the cost of food. We don't profit from this — it just helps us avoid no-shows and support great venues.
Where do you host the dinners?
Always in downtown Toronto. We rotate restaurants like Gia, Marben, and Bar Isabel — intimate spots with great vibes and shared plates.
Can I bring a guest or friend?
Nope! We intentionally keep it small and curated. If your friend is interested, ask them to apply separately — we'd love to consider them for a future one.
Will I know who's attending in advance?
Yes. We'll send out a short attendee list and WhatsApp link a couple of days before, so you can break the ice ahead of time.
What if I have dietary restrictions?
We accommodate most dietary needs — just let us know in your application and we'll make sure you're taken care of.
