What makes us different

We are not a private club and we are not traditional networking, here you don't have to "perform"

Our events are only the starting point.

​

The real value comes from what continues afterwards: introductions, shared plans, recommendations, and women supporting one another.

What does it mean to be a member?

It can mean something different to every woman.

​

Maybe you’re looking for new friendships, interesting conversations, more things to do, or places you wouldn’t discover on your own. Maybe you want fresh ideas, professional opportunities, or simply a little more spontaneity in your life.

​

Some members have been with us since the very beginning. Others joined only recently.

 

Some come often, others step away for a while, move abroad, come back and rejoin when the time feels right.

 

Some choose free Base Membership, while others become Core Members for greater access, private WhatsApp groups, special invitations and additional benefits.

​

Come often or once in a while. Stay, take a break, come back.

 

However life changes, you’re always welcome here.

“ The community has emotionally supported me during my transition to a new profession. The encouragement and inspiration from fellow members, especially women on similar paths, have been invaluable. The workshops have directly addressed my goals, and the supportive atmosphere has made me feel less alone. "

Milan Women Network is a community for international and English-speaking women in Milan, offering curated events, friendships, professional connections and opportunities to discover the city.

MEET THE FOUNDER

Katia Kokoreva is a mother, former fashion model, and certified psychologist whose life has moved between very different worlds. After years in New York, she returned to Milan during a period of personal transition and reinvention. That experience became part of the inspiration behind MWN. What started with one brunch in 2023 became a new chapter for thousands of women who have since become part of the community.
