About the Event

This year, WomenVenture celebrates 25 YEARS as a Women’s Business Center, marking a quarter century of empowering women entrepreneurs, fostering small business growth, and strengthening communities across Minnesota. 

This milestone event celebrates the trailblazers, innovators, and small business owners who overcome obstacles, spark opportunity, and help weave a vibrant, thriving community. It’s also a heartfelt tribute to the people who make this work possible—our corporate and foundation partners, donors, supporters, and community members who have championed WomenVenture’s mission for 25 YEARS.

Together, we honor a legacy of empowering women in business while building momentum toward a future rooted in equity, access, and shared success. Your voice and your presence matter—and we invite you to join us in celebrating the power of HER impact.

ATTIRE

As you get ready for the evening, we encourage guests to wear cocktail attire-and if you’d like to join in the spirit of the night, please wear blue! Blue is WomenVenture’s signature color, symbolizing strength, possibility, and unity. We’d love to fill the room with a sea of blue to celebrate our mission and the power of women entrepreneurs.
