Coffee & Connections - October 9th

Hosted by Chapter President Rachel Simms, RGD

Featuring Venue Host: Chef Nina Ruelens @ BE Cafe & Barkey & Chef Nina's Creative Kitchen

💛 This is a FemCity Member-Only Event 💛 If you have someone interested in attending who is not yet a member. We encourage them to sign up for a 30-day free trial to really learn what FemCity is all about!

Some of the best business opportunities start with a single conversation. This month, we're making that happen.

Join us for Coffee & Connections — a morning designed for real talk, real connection, and real collaboration. No fluff, no formalities. Just a room full of women in business who are ready to show up for each other.

FemCity is not like other networking communities — we lead with heart and strategy. For over 16 years and 25,000+ members globally, FemCity has created opportunities, mentorship, and sisterhood for women entrepreneurs ready to grow with intention. This intimate Coffee & Connection gathering brings that spirit to life locally through inspired conversation, curated introductions, and collaborative masterminding.

Our Venue

This month, we're gathering at the cozy Chef Nina's Creative Kitchen/BE Cafe & Barkery, hosted by local Hamilton business owner Nina Ruelens. We love supporting women-owned spaces, and this is exactly the kind of warm, elevated environment that sets the tone for the morning we have planned. Chef Nina will also provide delicious coffee, tea, and snacks. Google Map Direction
