Sapience Suppers, a tradition started at our 2019 summit in New Orleans, give us the opportunity to go deeper with conversation and relationship-building amongst the members of our community. We will match you with several other summit participants who may share similar industries, interests, geographic locations, or life stages, and give you some discussion prompts to help you build the long-lasting and meaningful relationships for which Tide Risers is known. 

For our alumnae, you’ll enjoy a reunion with your cohort! We'll provide simple instructions and discussion prompts; you’ll provide your supper and get comfy in front of your screen for some great connection and conversation.
