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.

Frequently Asked Questions
What should a good coworking space in Washington provide?
A good coworking space should provide all of the basic amenities needed to get work done — like fast and reliable Wi-Fi, ergonomic furniture and different types of work or relaxing areas — but also extra features, such as printing, copying and scanning services or complimentary beverages or even snacks. Aside from these, coworking spaces provide different work arrangements that suit the varying needs of workers, from open desk areas to private offices. Notably, one of the most beneficial traits of a good coworking space is its community. In most cases, coworking operators foster and nurture a sense of community by allowing different workers from various backgrounds to come together and participate in exciting and fun activities, events and gatherings outside of working hours.
Can I book a coworking space by the hour? How about for a day/month?
Coworking spaces in Washington offer highly flexible options when it comes to different work arrangements, however, not all operators offer hourly and daily bookings. These are generally reserved for meeting rooms and event spaces and are generally less applicable to common work arrangements, like an open workspace or a dedicated desk. However, hot desks are available in some locations and certain operators enable day passes or a trial period, for users who want to test the waters before committing to a space.
What types of coworking spaces are available?
The majority of coworking spaces in Washington provide different types of working arrangements to suit both individual workers and teams. For instance, if you only need a space for a few days a month, you can opt for a desk in an open workspace or you can choose a dedicated desk if you plan to use it more regularly. Meanwhile, private offices are ideal for smaller teams that require more privacy, while meeting rooms are available in most locations and are equipped to host presentations, brainstorming sessions or client meetings.
How many coworking spaces are in Washington?
Currently, there are 81 coworking spaces up for grabs in Washington. However, you can always expand your area of search based on your location or according to convenience. In some cases, you can even find coworking spaces in the suburbs or outside of the main business district.
Can I visit or tour the coworking space before making a decision?
In many cases, coworking spaces allow you to take a tour of the location before you fully commit to any type of membership. Some even have virtual tours that you can take from the comfort of your own home. These allow you to view the space, the floorplan, the different types of working arrangements, and the overall design and vibe of the space. This way, you can see if the space matches your needs to make an informed decision.
