Venture Café is a Cambridge-based conference curated for small business owners and entrepreneurs to connect and network with industry professionals. In light of the COVID-19 pandemic, the brand has launched a virtual conference to allow attendees to continue to network and attend learning sessions such as workshops and resources.
The in-person weekly conferences take place on Thursdays and will now allow guests to virtually pitch their start-up ideas to investors via Remo, a virtual networking tool. With seven curated sessions, attendees can virtually register for their preferred session and participate remotely.
As the COVID-19 pandemic continues to shift the world operates, we can expect more conferences to pivot to a virtual format.
