A day celebrating female chefs, bakers, food founders and hospitality professionals whose work deserves greater visibility. Too many talented women in food and hospitality are doing remarkable work without receiving the visibility, recognition or opportunities they deserve. For the first edition of Chefs Connect Live, we are creating a table where women can be seen, heard and connected. Women at the Pass: The Visibility Table brings together female chefs, bakers, caterers, food-business founders, restaurant professionals and food creatives for a day of honest conversation, introductions and meaningful industry connections. Hosted at Bistrot Samantha, Ikoyi, the event will give attendees an opportunity to share what they are building, meet potential collaborators, discover new opportunities and become part of a growing professional hospitality community. This is not simply another networking event. It is a space for women to speak about their work, communicate what support or opportunities they need and build relationships that can continue beyond the day. What to Expect Guests can look forward to: Introductions from women working across food and hospitality Conversations about visibility, access and professional growth Opportunities to present your business, skills or current project Networking with chefs, founders, creatives and industry professionals Collaboration and opportunity announcements Photography and content from the day Food and drinks available to purchase from Bistrot Samantha Come prepared to introduce yourself, share what you are building and tell the community what opportunities, clients, partnerships or support you are currently seeking. Who Should Attend? This event is for: Female chefs, bakers, pastry chefs, caterers, private chefs, restaurant owners, food founders, culinary educators, food writers, photographers, content creators and other women working across hospitality. Industry supporters, potential collaborators, suppliers and hospitality professionals who genuinely want to support and connect with women in food are also welcome.
