THE STRAWBERRY STANDARD
Expectations &
ETIQUETE
ASK YOURSELF
Before you Arrive
Whose business can I support from this table? Who do I truly want to meet? Who is already in my circle?
The Strawberry Society is not a one-time dinner, it’s an intentional, ongoing community for women who value genuine connection, collaboration, and growth. Every guest is chosen with care. The more intentionally you engage, the more you’ll take away.
Come with Intention
We ask all members to show up present, open-hearted, and ready to connect. Every seat is intentionally curated because your presence truly matters, which is why we honor a thoughtful seating arrangement. This experience is not about collecting contacts, but about creating real, meaningful relationships.
Respect the Experience
Arrive on time and be engaged.
If you must represent your business, please represent the industry you selected when purchasing your ticket. Many of us wear multiple hats, but please be courteous and stay within your chosen category.
Enjoy taking photos before or after dinner, not during the meal.
Allow the evening to unfold naturally — each moment is designed for connection.
Connection Over Competition
Celebrate, support, and champion the women around you.
We rise by lifting others, not by comparison.
No Gossip
We honor trust and kindness in this community.
Gossip and negativity have no seat at the table, it’s just rude.
Be Authentic
Come as you are curious, real, and open.
Perfection isn’t welcome, presence is.
Give More Than You Take
Add value through encouragement, ideas, or insight.
Generosity keeps the community thriving.
After the Dinner
Stay connected, collaborate, and continue conversations.
Send someone business, refer a friend
The Strawberry Society is a long-term community, not a one-off event.
