A locally organized event hosted by a DC chapter in a specific city or region. Chapters run these independently to bring nearby members together on a regular basis. Format and frequency vary depending on the chapter leaders and local community.
The Dynamite Circle hosted a chapter event in Lisbon, Portugal, in early September. Around 30 location-independent founders gathered for connection, learning, and socializing in a city known for its entrepreneurial spirit and welcoming atmosphere.
The event spanned two days, offering a mix of structured activities and free time for exploration. Friday included a group lunch featuring traditional Portuguese cuisine, followed by a sunset yacht tour and a pizza dinner. Saturday featured a city brunch and an afternoon at a beach bar outside of Lisbon.
Lisbon, with its blend of entrepreneurial innovation, relaxed vibes, and friendly locals, served as an ideal backdrop for the gathering. The city's growing reputation as a hub for digital nomads and entrepreneurs made it a fitting location for DC members to connect and share experiences. Attendees represented a diverse range of industries, including marketing agencies, professional services, SaaS, productized services, and affiliate marketing.
This event is hosted in the DC Lisbon Chapter area, home to around 34 DC members. Visit the chapter page for nearby founders, travel trends, and upcoming events in the city.
