THE HAPPENING

When: August 6th, 2020 from 2am-9pm ET

Are you an innovator — not necessarily a techie, but an all around creative thinker and doer? Do you believe that the challenges of today can’t be solved with the solutions of yesterday? Are you a person who isn’t satisfied with “normal” because “normal” wasn’t working too well? Would you like to connect with other innovators all over the world who share similar passions? 

On Thursday August 6th, join all 10 Venture Café locations for the first ever collective Global Thursday Gathering – The Happening! Featuring nearly 30 sessions over 20 hours, we will explore ideas and innovative actions around crafting a better future. 

Best part: It’s free and you can participate from anywhere. 

In the midst of a global pandemic, we believe it is still important to produce quality content, facilitate meaningful connections, and build an engaged community. 

Everyone wants to know what the “New Normal” will be after this transformational year, and as a convener of innovators, we want to shift the conversation to ask: How will we create the “Better Normal”? 

How will innovators be inspired to action by a devastating global pandemic, the rapid effects of climate change, and a growing civil rights movement? From educational outcomes to equitable housing, corporate culture to climate action, racial equity to pandemic response – so many facets of the world we live in can and will be reimagined. Let’s connect to make a “Better Normal” happen!

Share your favorite ideas about creating a “better normal” here!

Check-in to join!

Check-in starts at midnight EDT on Thursday!
