COFFEE MORNINGS
Coffee Mornings are a social space where creative exchanges among members and non-members of the IWA take place.
The event may include activities to share an individual interest with others, but also to promote business activities or to raise funds for non-profit activities.
Members and – under certain conditions – also non-members have an opportunity to introduce topics of professional, cultural or personal interest to other members.
The host must be a member of the IWA.
Non-members are also accepted if they benefit from the support of a member (upon invitation by a member).
Ordinary meeting schedule: On Wednesdays, between 11:00 – 13:00.
NEWCOMERS´COFFEE MORNINGS
You just arrived in Tbilisi and feel a little bit lost? Get in touch with us! We organize Newcomer´s Coffee Mornings at least twice a year (in November and April). These are informal coffees so that newcomers can meet each other in a smaller group, get useful information about everyday life and – if interested – learn more about IWAG.
