Our Signature Morning of Connection, Empowerment, and Expansion
If you've been curious about what VCBW is becoming, this is where you step in. Coffee & Connection is one of our most beloved community gatherings, and this fall, it's arriving at just the right moment. A room full of women who are building, dreaming, and showing up. Familiar faces. New ones you haven't met yet. And an energy that reminds you exactly why community matters.
Here's what to expect:
A warm, welcoming space to meet new faces and reconnect with familiar ones
Meaningful conversation that goes beyond the typical small talk
Featured businesses and tables to browse, shop, and support
A front-row seat to what VCBW is growing into together
Come as you are. Bring a friend. And leave with new connections, new inspiration, and a real sense of what this community is becoming.

Want to be a featured business at Coffee & Connection?
This is your invitation. As a featured table, you get more than a spot in the room. You get a dedicated space to showcase your business, share your story, and let people experience what you've built. You'll connect face-to-face with a room full of engaged, supportive women, gain real visibility within the VCBW community, and receive a community spotlight that puts your business in front of the people who want to see you succeed.
It's not just a table. It's a chance to be seen, celebrated, and championed by women who genuinely want to see you grow.
Featured table pricing:
$25 for ECO members
