Want to learn how to plan a dinner party for any theme or celebration? Join Julia and Irvin Dominguez, founders of The Dinner Club RI, for a conversation about connection, community, and the art of hosting. What began as a simple idea to make new friends and bring people together over great food has grown into a series of intimate, curated dinner parties in Rhode Island that celebrate meaningful connection through shared meals.

Since launching The Dinner Club RI, Julia and Irvin have welcomed over 7,000 guests and organized three retreats, with a fourth on the way. During this talk, they’ll share the story behind how it all started, what they’ve learned along the way, and how the project has evolved into a growing community of strangers-turned-friends.

They’ll also offer practical tips for hosting during the holidays, from creating a welcoming atmosphere to setting the tone for conversation and connection at your own table. Whether you love entertaining or simply want to feel more confident bringing people together, this event will leave you inspired to host with heart this holiday season.
