Dîner en Blanc International

François Pasquier
Founder of Le Dîner en Blanc.

In 1988, after spending a few years abroad, François Pasquier wanted to organize a picnic to reconnect with old friends. The concept was simple: "Bring a meal, and bring a new friend." Seeing as his garden was too small to receive all the guests, he told them to convene at the Bois de Boulogne and to dress in white, so they could find each other. This friendly gathering became so popular that it grew over time. It is now bringing together over 10,000 friends of friends every year in Paris. Nearly 30 years later, François Pasquier still organizes the Parisian Dîner en Blanc with those same friends.

Aymeric Pasquier
President of Diner en Blanc International Inc. & Host of Dîner en Blanc de Montreal.

Born in France, he is one of the 4 sons of the founder. He has been living in Montreal for the last fifteen years and simply adores Canada, his adopted country. He imported the concept from France to Canada in 2009 with a friend and then to the United-States (in New York City) with the help of Sandy Safi. He is the host of Dîner en Blanc de Montreal and co-founder of Dîner en Blanc International Inc.

Sandy Safi

Born and raised in Montreal, Christian has worked in various roles from customer support to sales and marketing in the field of IT for more than 25 years.

Sam is professionally trained as a high school teacher, but her passion for event planning has pulled her towards this exciting and dynamic team. She attended her first Dîner en Blanc in Montreal last summer and it made such an amazing impression on her, that she felt she had no choice but to peruse her involvement in planning these beautiful nights as a career.

Karim Talaat
Prospect and International Sales Manager, Dîner en Blanc International Inc.

The international nature of this event and the opportunity to continue to explore the world through the local hosts are among the attributes that led Karim to join the International Dîner en Blanc team. With performing arts and creations at heart, he is proud to be part of the vibrant team and to contribute to the development of Dîner en Blanc worldwide.
