SF Bay Area Members Dinner
Date / Time: November 14, 2025, 6:00 PM
Location: Chicken Pie Shop, 1251 Arroyo Way, Walnut Creek, CA 94596
Who: Open exclusively to WDAI SF Bay Area members (RSVP by Nov 12th required)
Purpose: An evening of conversation, connection and community-building among WDAI members in a relaxed, upscale casual setting.
Details & Highlights:
• We’ll have a reserved area at Chicken Pie Shop Walnut Creek, free parking, and a welcoming atmosphere.
• This is an opportunity to meet other Bay Area WDAI members, share your current work in AI, your leadership goals, and explore ways we can support one another as a community.
• Arrival from 6:00 PM; dinner orders will begin shortly thereafter. Please arrive a few minutes early.
• As this is a members-only event, please RSVP by Nov 12th so we can confirm our head-count with the restaurant.
• You will be responsible for your own meal, tax, and tip; please come prepared for easy payment to the Chicken Pie Shop.
What you’re asked to bring:
• Your openness to connect: come ready to introduce yourself (name, current role, one thing you’re excited about in AI right now; or one thing that is challenging you).
What you will gain:
• Face-to-face time with regional WDAI peers in a supportive atmosphere.
• The chance to help shape future WDAI Bay Area gatherings (we’ll ask for your input during the evening on what kind of formats/moments you’d like going forward).
Transportation / Parking:
• From Walnut Creek BART Station, this is about a 12-15 minute walk, or a short Uber ride.
• The restaurant’s official website states “Free Parking” for guests. And there are two parking lots next to the restaurant and many street parking options.
Please RSVP by Nov 12th to secure your seat. Let’s intentionally build our community and enjoy a great evening of food, ideas, and connection.
I look forward to seeing you on November 14th at 6 PM,
Madina Gbotoe, your host and coordinator of this Bay Area event!
