Thursday Gathering
The Thursday Gathering is Venture Café’s signature program, drawing hundreds of entrepreneurs and innovators each week both in person and online. Through the Thursday Gathering sponsorship opportunities below, you’ll connect with passionate, creative innovators while amping up your brand awareness and trust.
Session Series
Short session. Big impact. For one hour during the Thursday Gathering, you’ll work with innovators in a one-on-one setting. Host an open-house ask-me-anything session, or share your expertise around specific topics. It’s up to you!
Theme Night
Many of our Thursday Gatherings are organized around a theme -- anything from trending business practices to cosmic exploration to creative activism. You’ll set the theme, develop several topical sessions, and will share space with other partners. 
Takeover Night
Oh, you want to go big? Really big? We’ve got you covered. During Takeover Night, the entire Thursday Gathering is exclusively yours. We’ll work together to build every session, panel discussion, demonstration table, interactive element and memorable moment around your brand and interests.
