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
Director of Development Dîner en Blanc International Inc.

Having worked in over 15 countries, including Canada, in the field of special events and the performing arts, she has been responsible for developing and managing productions in theatre, opera, circus, concerts. She is the co-founder for Dîner en Blanc International Inc. where she acts as Director of Development and Partner.

Her career path, her need for challenges, the pleasure to work with different people from different countries and her desire to keep on learning are just a few of the reasons that pushed her to take on the Dîner en Blanc adventure.

Christian Rochefort
Project Manager, Dîner en Blanc International Inc.

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. His technical background combined with his experience working with customers and industry partners will help Dîner en Blanc International in its continuous growth.

With a passion for events that bring people together, Samantha is very excited to be a part of the magic that is Dîner en Blanc. 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.

Chantal Blanchard
