Fell free to bring your lunch!

At each gathering you’ll:

🌸 Share your pitch (what you do, a biz win, gratitude, and your ask)

🌸 Learn from our Featured Fem on business, lifestyle, or wellness

🌸 Connect in small group conversations to build meaningful relationships

💫 Do you have a biz bestie that would be a good fit? They can get both a 30 day trial and register for our next event by going to https://bit.ly/FemcityVirtualCanadaRegistration

👉 Meeting new Fems allows even more magic to happen — booking 1:1 coffee chats helps you grow, and seeing each other again and again builds on that strong foundation.

We can’t wait to see you at the next gathering!

FemCity Burlington Chapter President Leigh Fowler is excited to kick off the 2026 year with another round of Biz Coffee & Connection Sessions.

This month we will co-host the monthly FemCity Burlington Biz Coffee & Connection Session with community sponsor and featured business owner Tree Ryde, Director of Business Growth Results & The Burlington Hypnosis Center.

FemCity is not like other networking communities - it’s a community that leads with heart and soul first! Celebrating its 16th year and over 25,000 members, this organization is serious about creating connections, opportunities and resources for women in business.

Local business women in growth mode are invited to attend this inspired community event and get more visible with like-minded colleagues and business owners!

The local chapter will host monthly Biz Coffee & Connection Sessions designed to give female business owners in growth mode a full 90-minutes of fun & facilitated masterminding and networking with heart.

:: Share your business cards in swag bags (no charge!)
:: Donate a door prize (please ask for details)
:: Enjoy a coffee/beverage and treat & grab a seat and join in on the fun!

A females-only community, FemCity is designed to create a safe space for women to expand and grow their business with access to mentorship, resources and tools!

The foundation of true connections and relationship-building is shared experiences, values and mindset at the very least! Let’s get to know each other!

Each Biz Coffee & Connection Session meeting kicks off with an update from the chapter President followed by an inspired business share from our sponsors.

Each attendee will be encouraged to give a 1-minute introduction and participants can share up to 4 things:

1. Name, business and business expertise
2. A recent win
3. Gratitude for another woman (doesn't have to be in the room)
4. An ask of the group!

Can’t wait to see you there!
