May 8-9, 2025 - The Wende Museum, Culver City, California

Dedicated to championing women, this experience is crafted to propel and advance the careers of female professionals, with full support from their male counterparts. Let us unite across sectors and generations, pushing forward the pursuit of gender equity in design, construction, and real estate.

Overnight success is a myth; true professional success is forged and cultivated over years of dedication. At Table for Ten, we embody this principle by presenting a community of women, men, and non-binary professionals within Architecture, Engineering, Construction (AEC) and Commercial Real Estate (CRE), to practice a key element of success: communication, marketing, and relationship building.

Join us in our mission to redefine career success and foster inclusivity. Together, we can make a tangible impact for the present and future. In 2024, ten decision-making executives joined us, we will have twenty who will be supporting us in 2025. Names and details coming soon.

━ EXPERIENCE

Table for Ten is a highly curated day to learn the strategies to be in leadership positions. Attendees will not only meet the people that will support them in that process, but also create meaningful relationships that ultimately move the needle for women in AEC and CRE. It will be an intense, intimate, highly productive day of networking, connecting, and marketing.

1pm - Advancing Gender Equity in Leadership

  • In an era of rapid transformation, achieving measurable progress towards gender equity is a journey, not an overnight success. Join us for an insightful panel discussion, where we delve into how we can drive meaningful change in our daily interactions and workplaces.

    Our expert panelists will explore practical strategies for engaging men in the conversation about gender equity. We'll discuss the profound benefits of women in leadership roles and how these advances contribute to a more dynamic and inclusive environment for everyone. Additionally, we’ll address common misconceptions and challenges that may arise, examining how this movement impacts all genders and fostering a collaborative approach to progress.

    Don't miss this opportunity to be part of a transformative dialogue that champions equality and innovation in leadership.

2pm - Building the Future: How Technology and Human Expertise Are Shaping Construction

  • Did you know that before the era of computers and automation, it was often women who performed the complex calculations and detailed craftsmanship that propelled industries forward? From NASA's earliest space missions to the creation of Disney’s hand-drawn animated classics, women have been integral to technological progress. 

    In today’s rapidly evolving world of technology, the collaboration between human expertise and advanced technology continues to drive innovation. In this panel discussion, industry leaders from the Architecture, Engineering, Construction (AEC), and Technology sectors will share their personal and professional experiences to optimize work, offering insights on how human-machine collaboration is revolutionizing the way we build and design.

    Discover how embracing technology in construction can enhance productivity, improve safety, and create more sustainable solutions for our future. 

3pm - Sustainable Intergenerational Inclusion and New Models of Leadership

  • According to a recent article in the Harvard Business Review, “For the first time in history, many workplaces span six generations: from the octogenarians of the Silent Generation who are still working — and in many cases still holding onto key global leadership roles — to the teenagers of the emerging Generation Alpha who are eagerly pursuing their first summer jobs and high school internships. In between are the Baby Boomers, Generation X, Generation Y (often called the Millennials), and Generation Z.” 

    With such a diversity of lived experiences and viewpoints, this multi-generational workforce challenges traditional management practices to accommodate varying needs and expectations. How do organizations capitalize on the wealth of differing attitudes, behaviors, values and skills to increase innovation and resilience in the current professional environment? 

    Join us for an engaging panel as we explore how to leverage each generations’ strengths; how to optimize team cohesion; how to ensure that each generation feels empowered to contribute effectively and have a beneficial impact on the workplace and the design, construction, and real estate industry at large.

4pm - Pitch Session

5pm - 6:30pm - Happy Hour and Book Signing

9am - 5pm - One-on-Ones will happen throughout the day*

*Executives, Sponsors and VIPs Only. Separate schedules for will be sent out.
