2025 Nucleate Boston Holiday Party & Office Ribbon Cutting
🎄 Nucleate Boston Holiday Party & Office Warming
Join us as we celebrate the holiday season and officially welcome our community into the brand-new Nucleate Boston office! This end-of-year gathering brings together our Leadership, Partnerships, volunteers, and friends of Nucleate for an evening of reflection and connection.
Whether you’ve been here since the earliest Boston days or just joined the chapter this cycle, this party is your chance to toast everything we’ve built, everything we’re doing now, and everything Nucleate is becoming.
What to Expect
🍸 Reception & Office Warming
Kick off the evening with drinks, food platters, and the chance to explore our new HQ office space. Meet fellow volunteers, reconnect with alumni, and see the space that will power our next chapter.
📜 History of Nucleate: Ghost of Chapters Past, Present & Future
A short, fun storytelling segment where we revisit the scrappy early days, highlight today’s teams and wins, and look ahead to the ecosystem we’re building together. Expect candid stories, shared memories, and a few future “moonshots.”
🧬 After-Dark Biotech Rave
Once the lights go down, the beats come up. Stay for the high-energy end-of-year celebration with music, festive lights, and the full Nucleate community on the dance floor.
Why We’re Celebrating
2025 has been a big year for the Boston chapter—new space, bigger programs, stronger partnerships, and a growing global Nucleate network. This party is about celebrating the people who make the organization what it is: our volunteers and partners.
