Before you pull up a chair
A little intention
goes into the room.
Start with a short application. Tell us a little about yourself and what you need and bring to the DC dinner. Its details and $400 full price are listed above.
Maegan reviews applications with the conversation, mix of perspectives, and available seats in mind.
If you’re invited and accept, we’ll email you a secure invoice for $400. Your seat is confirmed once payment is received.
At the table
Settle in.
Let the conversation unfold.
A shared meal.
A thoughtfully chosen setting and time around the table give the conversation room to grow.
A guided conversation.
Maegan introduces prompts, invites participation, and makes space for different experiences and perspectives.
A personal exchange.
Bring a question or something you’re working through. Offer an idea, a lesson, or a connection another woman might need.
Two questions open the conversation
What do you need?
What do you bring?
You might need perspective on a decision, encouragement for a change, or help with a practical next step.
You might bring experience, a useful introduction, or a question that helps someone think differently.
You choose what you share. There’s room to listen, reflect, and contribute in a way that feels right for you.
An idea at the heart of The Table
Set Your Table.
The Set Your Table Method invites women to define success on their own terms by deciding what deserves their time, energy, and attention.
That idea helps shape our conversations: what matters now, what deserves more room, and what enough looks like for you.
At dinner, we explore those questions through shared stories and perspectives. You don’t need a perfectly mapped-out next chapter to take part.
What you can carry with you
A conversation can
open a little room.
A fresh perspective.
Someone else’s experience may help you see a question or decision in a new way.
A meaningful connection.
You may meet a woman whose story resonates or whose perspective you want to hear more of.
A thought to return to.
A question, an idea, or a next step can stay with you after the evening ends. Every woman’s experience will be her own.
A few things you may be wondering
Before you join us.
Can I attend on my own?
Yes. You’re welcome to apply on your own. You don’t need to bring a friend or know the other women at the table.
Do I need a particular title or career stage?
No. The Table is for women who value thoughtful conversation and are willing to listen, ask, and contribute. Your perspective matters beyond your title.
Do I have to share something personal?
You choose what you share. Honest conversation can be about work, life, a decision, or something you’re thinking through. You can also make room by listening thoughtfully.
Where are dinners held, and what do they cost?
Our next dinner is at Barbouzard in Washington, DC on November 19, 2026, from 7–10 p.m. Eastern. The full price is $400, including dinner, drinks, gratuity, and a hosted, curated conversation. Future gatherings may have different prices; details will be announced before applications open.
Does applying reserve my seat?

Can someone gift a seat?
Yes. Someone can nominate a woman or ask Maegan to select a recipient from applicants. Gifts are reviewed separately, and the recipient chooses whether to accept. Explore Gift a Seat.
Can I bring this experience to my company?
The Table at Work offers facilitated gatherings shaped around your team, setting, and goals. Start an inquiry to discuss what you have in mind.
Your perspective belongs here
Bring who you are.
