Ipade is the first event and meeting space in Washington, D.C. specifically conceived and designed for Black women and women of color. Ideally situated at 1700 Connecticut Ave. NW at the very heart of D.C.’s Dupont Circle, Ipade advertises itself as the most unique event, meeting and creation space in the city. Plus, the area around the space is a walker’s paradise with a variety of hotels, restaurants, fast food chains, parks, cafes and more found in its immediate vicinity. Cyclers will also enjoy the extensive network of bike paths they can use to get to Ipade. Or, several bus stops can also be found nearby and parking spots are available on-site.
Notably, Ipade is more than a simple coworking space. Rather, it’s a haven for Black women, femmes, and they/thems of color where they can connect, collaborate and create a strong community. More precisely, the incubator is a place where Black and Brown female creatives can gather to propel each other’s professional growth in the most empowering way possible. Ipade also acts as a canvas where one can host a team retreat, production shoot or social gathering.
Here, there’s only one membership plan, which is priced at an accessible monthly rate of $100. Members receive unlimited access to the space during working hours, special discounts on meeting rooms and venue rentals, networking opportunities at events held on-site, complimentary printing, coffee and tea, along with other fantastic perks.
Additionally, economic justice, inclusivity, community, self-care, and self-love are values that are at the forefront of the Ipade mentality, and all events, gatherings and occurrences function with these in mind. The warm and inviting ambiance of the vibrant Ipade space is ideal for team retreats, photoshoots, weddings, showers, panels, screenings, launch parties, video productions and other social events, including pop-ups, brunches and family celebrations. In any case, the team behind the space will help you put together a successful and memorable event.
