Philadelphia Chapter “Seasonal Traditions & Childhood Memories” (21 Oct 2026)

Wed, 21 Oct 2026 13:30:00 GMT

“Seasonal Traditions & Childhood Memories”

A mix of seasonal traditions and feel-good memories.

A relaxed, welcoming space to connect with one another without talking about work.

We’re excited to introduce Women in eDiscovery Philly Coffee Chats — a relaxed, welcoming space to connect with one another without talking about work.

These conversations are intentionally informal and personal. No agendas. No panels. No pressure to “network.” Just a chance to grab your coffee, show up as you are, and spend time with other women in our community talking about life, little joys, and whatever’s on your mind.

Details:
☕ When: Every 3rd Wednesday of the month
⏰ Time: 9:30 AM ET

Each month will have a different, gentle theme to help spark conversation.

Participation is always optional — listening is just as welcome as sharing. This is meant to be a low-pressure, safe space to connect and recharge.

If you’ve been looking for a casual, feel-good way to stay connected with the WiE Philly community, we’d love for you to join us.
