I just moved to Milan and don’t know anyone. Is MWN for me?

Yes! MWN was created exactly for women like you. Whether you’re here for a few months or forever, you’ll find a warm, welcoming space to make real connections and feel at home.

​

Is MWN only for foreigners?

Not at all. While our shared language is English, our community includes native Italians, long-time expats, and women from all over the world. It’s about an open mind and open heart, not where you're from.

​

Is this mainly about events?

Not really. Events are just the doorway. What really matters is the warm atmosphere where women of all backgrounds and ages can belong, feel supported, and grow together.

​

What’s the vibe at MWN events?

Think warm, inspiring, and real. It’s the kind of space where you can be yourself, share your story (or just listen), and leave feeling lighter, bolder, and a little more seen.

​

Is MWN for a specific age group or background?

Not at all. Our community ranges from women in their 20s to women in their 50s — and every stage in between. Some are just starting out, some are reinventing themselves, some are leading companies. Everyone has a place here and we all learn from each other.

​

Can MWN help me grow my business or creative project?

Yes — especially with Club Membership. Katia, our founder offers personal introductions, brainstorming sessions, and access to opportunities to help you grow, collaborate, and thrive. Many of our members found business contacts within our community anything from web and graphic design to coaching and personal branding, we are here for you!

​

MEMBERSHIP:

​

What’s the difference between Base, Core, and Club membership?

​

• Base (Free): A great way to try us out — access to brunch and aperitivo events with a €15 non refundable registration fee.

• Core (€20/month): Full access to all events, registration fees are waived, plus entry to our private WhatsApp Community Chat where real friendships form.

• Club (€70/month): A curated experience for deeper growth — personal introductions, exclusive events, one-on-one sessions with Katia, discounts from our partners and much more.

​

What are the real benefits of being a Core member?

​

• Access to all non Club events, including workshops and masterclasses.

• Access to Pop Up , non calendar events ( like Book Club meetings, museum visits, picnics, coffees, dinners, karaoke nights , announced in WhatsApp )

• Priority access to popular events (they do fill up fast!).

• Private WhatsApp group to chat, share, and connect every day.

• Feel truly part of a living, breathing community.

​

How long is my membership valid for?

​

Your membership and all its benefits are valid for 30 days from the day you sign up.
All plans renew automatically every month, but you can cancel anytime — and you’ll still have full access until the end of your billing period.

​

Can I upgrade, downgrade, or cancel my membership anytime?

Absolutely. We believe in flexibility. You can switch or cancel your membership whenever you need, right from your account settings.

​

Why do you require an interview for Club membership?

Because Club is about deeper connections and tailored support. We want to make sure it’s the right fit for you (and for the existing Club members). It’s a relaxed conversation with our founder Katia — more like coffee than an interview.

​

​

EVENTS &

SIGNING UP :​

​

How do I sign up for an event?

Just head to our Events page, choose the event and ticket according to your membership ( BASE Members get access to Brunch and Aperitivo ) , Core and Club Members get priority access. Keep an eye on your mailbox, sometimes we add extra spots for workshops.

​

PLEASE NOTE : after booking your spot, you will receive another email from Katia 24hrs before the event with details and instructions.

​​

Can I come to events if I’m not a paid member?

Yes! but you must be registered as a Base (free) member, and you can join our Brunch and Aperitivo events — just cover the €15 registration fee.

If you want full access to our events, workshops, masterclasses, pop up events and Whatsapp chat then Core membership is your best friend. Upgrade Here 

​

Can I come alone? I’m a little nervous…

Absolutely — and you’ll be in good company. Many women come solo and leave with new friends. We’re intentional about creating spaces where no one feels awkward or left out. ( even if you're an introvert ) 

​

Should I bring a friend?

We know it’s tempting, but we gently suggest coming on your own, especially if you're joining us for the first time.It gives you the freedom to meet other like-minded women, have authentic conversations, and make real connections without sticking to the comfort of someone you already know. However, if your friend would like to join too, she must be registered as a BASE/CORE member.

​

What happens at the beginning of the events? Will I have to introduce myself?

Katia , our founder, will be there to welcome you. At the start of each gathering, we invite everyone to share a short introduction — your name and a few words about yourself. It’s relaxed and friendly — and a beautiful way to practice stepping a little outside your comfort zone.

Think of it as a mini moment of public speaking practice — safe, supportive, and full of smiles. We believe growth happens in tiny brave moments, and MWN is the perfect place to take them.

​

Are MWN events also about personal growth?

Yes! Every event is more than just a social meetup. It’s an invitation to be seen, to share, to connect more deeply. Whether it’s through a casual introduction or a new idea sparked by a conversation, every gathering is a step forward.

​

Cancellations & Changes

​

What happens if I cancel my membership?

You can cancel your membership anytime — no cancellation fees, no questions asked. Your membership benefits will stay active until the end of your current billing cycle and you are always welcome to come back!

If you cancel CORE / CLUB Membership your num will be removed from WhatsApp Chats at the end of the billing cycle.

​

If I cancel, do I get a refund for my membership fee?

Membership fees are non-refundable, even if you don’t attend any events that month. We recommend checking the event calendar when signing up to make the most of your membership.

​

What if I can’t attend an event I registered for?

We get it — plans change!

​

• If you cancel at least 72 hours before the event, you’ll receive a full refund of any event fee (for special paid events). PLEASE NOTE 15 euro REGISTRATION FEE is non refundable!

• MWN Club members have a little extra flexibility: Club Members can cancel up to 48 hours before a paid event for a full refund.

​

What if I cancel last minute (less than 72/48 hours)?

Unfortunately, we can’t offer a refund if you cancel closer to the event date. We book venues, payout the experts, arrange food and spaces based on attendance, so we appreciate your understanding.

​

Can I just transfer my spot to a friend if I can’t make it?

In most cases, yes, if your friend is also MWN Member— but you must contact us first to confirm. This ensures we maintain the safe, curated environment that makes our community so special.

​

What if MWN cancels an event?

If for any reason we need to cancel an event, you will receive a full refund for any event-specific fee you paid. We’ll also let you know as early as possible.

​

If I miss an event I signed up for, can I just attend another one instead?

Each event registration is specific to that event and spot, so unfortunately, missed events are not transferable. But don’t worry — there’s always something wonderful coming up next!

​

​

Event Details: Food, Photos & Privacy

​

I have dietary restrictions — can you accommodate that?

Absolutely! We want everyone to feel cared for.
When you check out and register for an event, you’ll be asked to fill out a quick form where you can let us know if you're gluten-free, vegetarian, vegan, pregnant, or have any other dietary needs.
We do our best to make sure everyone has something delicious waiting for them.

​

I noticed you sometimes have a photographer or videographer at events — what should I know?

Sometimes, yes — we invite a photographer or videographer to capture the beautiful energy of our community.
You’ll always be notified by email ahead of time if a photographer or videographer will be present at the event you’re attending. It doesn’t change anything for you during the event — just be yourself and enjoy the moment!
And the best part? After the event, you'll receive gorgeous professional photos to remember the day.
 

What about my privacy? Will my photo be shared without asking?

Never.
We deeply respect your privacy. Before sharing any photos or videos on our social media, website, or marketing materials, we will always ask for your consent.
You get to decide what you're comfortable with — always.

​

Why do you ask for my Instagram handle when I sign up?

No, we don’t care how many followers you have :) !!!
We ask for your Instagram just to make future communication quicker and smoother. If we want to mention you, tag you in an event recap, or reach out quickly about event updates, it’s handy to have it.
