CONNECTION, BY DESIGN

For those craving more…

We create transformative experiences that make women feel alive. From intimate long-table dinners to show-stopping galas, fiery panel discussions to full-blown conferences, we design spaces for connection and celebration, bringing women together in ways that feel both authentic and irresistibly magnetic, all delivered through exquisite hospitality.

We break the rules and tear up the script (sometimes literally), disrupting the status quo and creating environments where walls come down, strangers connect, and even the most introverted woman feels fully alive. These are moments where the impossible suddenly feels possible. Dine Wilder isn’t about aesthetics. It’s about moments that change how people show up.

There’s a seat waiting for you…

October 25, 2026
Cheakmus Centre, Squamish

“I’ve been to lots of networking events for women, but this crowd was different.”

“I went to my first Dine Wilder event last night and wow… they are onto something special! Everyone was super friendly and warm, and I was inspired by countless stories that I heard over the course of the evening. Hats off to Emily for attracting all the right people! The food was delicious (and healthy!), the drinks were unique (also amazing non-alcoholic options) and the vibes were perfection. Can’t wait for the next one!”

Our Mission

Confidence • Connection• Celebration

Meet Our Founder

Emily Shimwell

I’m Emily – a Yorkshire-born experience designer, storyteller, lifelong gatherer, and Founder of Dine Wilder.

I’m not good at colouring inside the lines. In fact, the more wildly abstract, the better. I thrive in uncertainty and in jumping before I’m ready, skipping the small talk and instead leading with, “Tell me something.” I design spaces that pull women out from behind their screens and back into real life, where confidence returns and connection takes root.

I study how people meet, what makes walls fall, and why certain moments stay with us long after they’re over. I believe the people we meet can change everything. And real confidence doesn’t come from perfection, it comes from rooms where we feel seen, safe, and celebrated. Everything I do sits at the intersection of human connection, courage, and conversation.

Fueled by curiosity and a big-picture vision, with a deep hunger to create meaningful impact, I craft experiences and ideas people can’t stop talking about. If you’re here, you are most certainly welcome.
