One year on from our launch, we're bringing together the founders, researchers, investors, corporates, public sector leaders and ecosystem partners who have helped shape Venture Café Manchester into one of the city's most connected innovation communities.

Over the past year, our weekly Thursday Gatherings have welcomed thousands of attendees, showcased leading innovators and thought leaders, and created countless new connections across Greater Manchester's innovation ecosystem - all powered by our belief that isolation is the enemy of innovation.

We're delighted to be joined by the CEO of ARIA, Kathleen Fisher, for this special evening as we reflect on the impact of our first year, celebrate the partnerships that have made it possible, and look ahead to the opportunities for innovation in the years to come.

Expect an evening of insight, conversation and connection. Further programme details will be announced soon.

Register now to be part of this milestone celebration.
