Women's Night at The Venture Café
#WESTventurecafe

WEST, XX in Health, Venture Café, and mosaicHUB invite you to a special 'Women's Night' at the Venture Café with fun, drinks, and featured panels/breakout sessions.

The Venture Café was created to provide a resource for the Boston entrepreneurial and innovation communities. The mission is to enable fresh and useful conversations. The Venture Café serves as a nexus for helping innovators and entrepreneurs find one another and collaborate to bring their dreams to reality. The shared physical spaces provide common meeting ground and a forum for semi-serendipitous encounters that often foster brainstorming and drive creativity.
