LadyBoss is back with our networking session! This time, the theme is F&B -- one of the most challenging industries in Singapore – with manpower challenges, fickle customers, and high start-up costs. Yet many people dream about having their own F&B business.

We learn from the women who have succeeded despite the odds. Following a networking session, we will be hearing from the women behind Kith Café, Drinkdings and Fika Swedish Café and Bistro.

Food & Drinks Galore – Do Register Early!

As our event has an F&B focus – we will also have many sponsors showcasing their F&B prowess – sponsors include TG Gateau Pte Ltd, Ugly Cake Shop, Kith Café, Fika Café and cocktails will be sponsored by Drinkdings. This is definitely not an event to be missed, and we are expecting tickets to be snapped up very quickly, so don’t hesitate!

Angela Sim, Founder, Drinkdings

Angela is the founder of Drinkdings and learnt the Art of the Bar from experienced bartenders before venturing out on her own to bring the bar to where the party is.

She has conducted teambuilding workshops for the likes of American Express, Accenture, Energizer, SKII during their regional get-togethers for top management, as well as for government agencies like the Monetary Authority of Singapore (MAS), A-Star and the Workforce Development Agency (WDA).

Angela is able to bring out the rah-rah in participants, as they handle the complex bar equipment for the first time. Doing away with the unnecessary, and educating on the interesting is what makes a Drinkdings Cocktail Workshop fun and engaging for participants.
