We hold two open events every month: the Monthly Meeting and the Meet & Greet. This is the best way to meet new people, and to see if the BIWC is a good fit. These events are open to all women, there is no need to register, just show up! We watch out for new faces, and really look forward to meeting you.
Take a look at the ACTIVITIES page for a complete view of all activities we offer our members.
Monthly Meeting
Join us the first Tuesday evening of every month at a restaurant for a no-host dinner. Sometimes a speaker presents a topic of interest or organizes a workshop; sometimes we play a trivia game or have a pub quiz just for fun. We always enjoy seeing new faces, whether you’ve been in Berlin for ages, are brand new to the city. This is a wonderful way to get to know our club, our community of women.
On November 3rd, our member Anna Polczyk-Borón, MD, will open a round of very interesting talks. Anna is a medical doctor and pharmaceutical research executive, currently serving as the Global Clinical Leader for R&D Pharmaceuticals at a large pharmaceutical company. Her focus is on a pediatric strategy, rare diseases and nephrology.
Theme of this evening:
Everyday Chemicals & Our Health — Myth vs. Fact
Ever wonder what’s actually inside food packaging, waterproof clothes, or everyday cosmetics?
Many common household products contain substances that can interfere with our body’s natural hormones—especially during childhood and pregnancy. Join us for a fascinating, down-to-earth look at the science behind these “everyday chemicals,” including the famous “forever chemicals” (PFAS).
What to Expect:
No fear-mongering: Just clear facts and simple, realistic habits you can use at home.
Interactive quiz: Bring your smartphone! We’ll use a live Kahoot quiz to bust popular myths together.
Open discussion: Ask your questions in a relaxed, friendly setting.
Bring your phone and your curiosity!

Meet and Greet
Pop in and join us for coffee at Kaffeehaus Mila at 10:30am on the 22nd of every month.
Bring your baby or your knitting if you want, it’s all about connecting. We chat over a cappuccino or a mint tea, maybe a chocolate croissant or a feta salad. For sure, we just appreciate coming together, pausing before attacking the must-do’s of the day. Many of our new members first experience our club through a Meet and Greet.
