Chicago
IllinoisOur second Chicago evening — and the first at founding price. Eight women, one table, one real conversation. This is what connection actually feels like.
Not a networking event.
The opposite of one.
You've been to the founder dinners. You've worked the room, pitched yourself between courses, and driven home more depleted than when you arrived. Dinner for Eight exists because that isn't connection — it's performance. And women who have built something real deserve better than that.
One table.

at the table.
What actually
happens.
This is not a structured event. There is no agenda, no panel, no workshop. It is a dinner — a beautifully set table in a private room at a restaurant worth the occasion — where eight women who have built something real get to stop performing and just be in the room.
Tracy is your host. She knows who is at the table before the evening begins. She opens the conversation and holds the space — not as a moderator, but as someone who genuinely wants to know what's in the room.
Within twenty minutes you'll be in a conversation you'll still be thinking about next week. That's not a promise — it's what every founding dinner guest has said.

"No networking allowed."
An intimate dinner for 8 high-achieving women — CEOs, founders, entrepreneurs — who are hungry for genuine connection, not performance. The anti-conference. The anti-founder dinner.
8 is the exact number where one conversation can hold the whole table. More than 8 and it fractures into side conversations. Fewer and it's a meeting. 8 is the magic number for connection.
