🍽️ Community Dinners

Nominate someone worth a dinner

Is there someone in our partner network you'd love to sit down with? Nominate them, and the TechLegion community can pledge toward covering a dinner together at a restaurant in our partner network in Switzerland. Every franc raised beyond the dinner itself funds our Robotics & Drone Zone workshops in Zug.

πŸ“ Process

How it works

From nomination to dinner table, in four steps.

1

Nominate

Share the LinkedIn profile of someone from our partner network you'd love to have dinner with, and tell us why.

2

We verify

TechLegion reaches out to the nominee to confirm their details and get their consent before anything is published.

3

Community pledges

Once approved, the nominee is added below. Anyone can pledge toward the dinner, starting at CHF 200 and rising in CHF 50 steps.

4

Dinner & impact

When pledges cover the dinner, we organise it at a partner restaurant. Everything raised beyond the dinner cost funds Robotics & Drone Zone workshops in Zug.

πŸ€– Robotics & Drone Zone

Funding hands-on tech education in Zug

Pledges don't just buy a dinner β€” they fund the Robotics & Drone Zone, a space in Zug where anyone can come learn robotics and fast prototyping, hands-on. Every dinner we host helps keep these workshops free and open to the community.

πŸ’Ά How pledging works

Minimum CHF 200, in CHF 50 steps

Pledges start at CHF 200 and increase in CHF 50 increments. A pledge is a commitment to contribute once a dinner is confirmed β€” not an automatic charge. We'll only contact you with payment details (invoice or QR-bill) once a dinner has actually been scheduled.

❓ FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Why do you need a LinkedIn profile link?

To identify exactly who's being nominated and reach out to them. We don't scrape or auto-import any data β€” our team reviews every nomination by hand before contacting the nominee.

Does the nominee have to agree to be listed?

Yes. We contact every nominee and get their explicit consent before publishing their name, photo, company or role, in line with the Swiss FADP and GDPR.

Is my pledge charged immediately?

No. A pledge is a statement of intent, not a payment. We only request payment once a dinner date is confirmed with the nominee, and you'll receive an invoice or QR-bill at that point.

What if a dinner doesn't happen?

If a nominee never confirms or a dinner isn't organised, no payment is requested and your pledge simply lapses.

Can I nominate myself?

We'd rather you nominate someone else β€” the idea is to celebrate people across our partner network in Switzerland.

Where exactly does the money go?

First, it covers the dinner itself at a partner restaurant. Everything raised beyond that funds Robotics & Drone Zone workshops in Zug, where anyone can learn robotics and fast prototyping.
