Makers Table
The Makers Table is a dinner party experience designed for creatives, artists, and makers to come together, collaborate, and connect. Each dinner spotlights a different industry or creative niche. For dinner No.6, we’re focusing on women in the hospitality industry.
This evening is about celebrating how women have carved out meaningful spaces within hospitality. As more women step into leadership roles, their influence is creating more inclusive decision-making and a stronger focus on collective well-being. It’s not just a tribute—it’s a chance to inspire the next generation of women in hospitality and showcase the creativity and strength they bring to the industry.
Please note that The Makers Table is invite-only.
