A staple at DC events, all women attendees are invited to join DC team members Lina and Priscilla for a women-only breakfast.

This is an awesome chance to build meaningful connections around the unique experience of being a woman entrepreneur and leader.

☀️ Spend Summer in Europe with DCers: Valencia, Lyon, London, and Barcelona

Starting this month, DCers are getting out of the office and into the company of other founders for small-group masterminds, outdoor activities, and great food in Europe. These are the moments that build genuine connections, spark momentum in your business, and set the tone for big moves heading into DCBKK this October.

🇪🇸 Valencia Chapter Event: Beachside Paella (May 31-June 1)

Experience one of Spain’s most loved (and underrated gems) with a weekend of coastal bike rides, a beachside mastermind, and an unforgettable paella experience.

Whether you’re a foodie, cyclist, or just looking to connect with fellow DCers in a stunning Mediterranean setting, this weekend’s for you. Space is limited and tickets close May 15!

🇫🇷 Lyon Chapter Event: Business, Bouchon and Wine (June 27-29)

Enjoy outdoor dining and business masterminds, wine tasting, an official guided tour of Lyon, dinner at an authentic Bouchon Lyonnais, and more.

Tickets sold out a couple weeks ago, and the organizers added a few more spots because of the demand (which are also getting scooped up fast.)

🇬🇧 DCX London (July 10-13)

One of the most highly-anticipated DC events of the year, DCX London promises four days with awesome DCers, mastermind sessions, an exquisite 3-course + wine dinner on opening night, new friends, new ideas, and epic conversations that go deep fast.

There’s a reason this event sold out in just a few minutes. You can still get on the waitlist and hope a space frees up!

🇪🇸 DC BLACK Barcelona (July 29-31)

Exclusively for members of DC BLACK (7+ figure founders), we’re heading back to one of our all-time favorite cities which has become a staple venue in our event rotation.

With high-value masterminds, facilitated discussions, group bonding activities, and an elevated menu, this event is set to generate great conversations, great connections, and great memories.

🗺️ A Peek Inside DC Chapter Cities

Here’s a quick roundup of what DCers have been up to with their fellow chapter members. With members in over 200 cities worldwide, it’s easy to connect with someone in or near your home base.

The Austin crew has been getting together for wellness events with ice baths, coworking, and meals.

A DC event in Kuwait is in the works, happening just before DCBKK. There’s already a WhatsApp group where folks are sharing travel plans and looking forward to connecting with each other before our biggest all-DC event of the year.

The Buenos Aires chapter got together multiple times in April for coffee or to try out food at new restaurants. Loving the consistency of meet-ups with this group!

The Playa del Carmen group chat is buzzing ahead of DC Mexico, with transportation recommendations and plans for meet-ups around the event. There was also a cool moment of solidarity where someone in the group was having electricity issues and a bunch of members offered their places to spend the night.

Multiple chapter groups gave support and shared news on the recent blackouts in Europe, including the London, Lisbon, and Barcelona groups.
