What this event was about

The Dynamite Circle hosted a DC BLACK event in Lisbon, Portugal, focused on connection, meaningful work, local culture, and food. This community-led event brought together DC BLACK members from Europe and beyond for a few days of connection and collaboration.

The event kicked off with a relaxed welcome dinner featuring Portuguese-inspired tapas, setting the stage for building connections. The following day included focused work sessions at a coworking space, with time for masterminds and skill-sharing, followed by dinner at a restaurant known for its Portuguese-Mediterranean dishes. A highlight was the final day which featured a culturally rich activity to explore the city.

Local DC BLACK members played a key role in designing the event to showcase Lisbon’s unique charm. The event was created to be unrushed, warm, and intentional, fostering meaningful interactions among attendees.
