Come kickoff our weekly Thursday Gathering, and connect with your community here at Venture Café St. Louis! We provide the space, complimentary beverages, and all the vibes for a socially engineered evening of improving the human condition through innovation. Join us!

After two-years of disruption and uncertainty, we realize the only constant is “change”. What if you could learn to monitor, manage, and master YOU through change, growth, and uncertainty? What if you could be calm in the midst of chaos? What if your adaptability was your superpower? Learn to maneuver through life’s challenges and changes with composure and confidence while you gain insight to the four key areas that move you forward, the difference between achievers and status quo, three key components to consistency, and a results formula that leaves you empowered.

You want to retain good people, engage employees, and produce value for the business. A culture that prioritizes people first allows employees to thrive along the path toward organizational success.  Engaged team members, executing at their greatest, have the most impact on your business. Active involvement from managers in shaping the employee reality leads to desired universal outcomes. The heart of the employee experience starts with P.E.O.P.L.E. It is true: when employees have great interactions at work, it translates to satisfied customers and better results for the business.

Perfect ideas and top-tier skills coming together! Have you ever had an idea that you knew was amazing, but didn’t have the resources to execute? Or maybe you had a plethora of resources, but are in need some new, innovative ideas? Well, come place your particular need on the Give/Get Board! By utilizing this community tool, you can see what others are looking for – or needing – to get their ideas and projects off the ground, and assist each other in this process. Give a little, get a lot!

Venture Cafe and St. Louis Reconciliation Network have come together to bring you a chance to meet with some of the pioneers and leaders in the city’s nonprofit space. This is monthly programming that will feature a new Nonprofit every month!

Conversations create ideas, ideas create innovation and innovation creates wonder. Welcome to the Conversation Corner! By utilizing a pre-made prompt, we hope to instill a sense of goal – focused communication amongst those who attend this activity! The prompt can be something as simple as “What beverage selections is Venture Cafe missing?” to more complex and nuance conversations such as “How can we work solve the growing global climate issue?” Lend your ideas and your voice to start the snowball effect of innovation. As we say at Venture Cafe, Connect, Learn, Share!

So that's just what we did, during our new focus for the month of September, "Industry Collaboration".
