The 3rd Annual Next Gen '20s Gala

​Step into the timeless allure of the jazz era and embrace the future at the third annual Next Gen Gala, presented by BLCK VC and The Emerging Venture Capital Association, and proudly sponsored by Silicon Valley Bank, WilmerHale, and the City of Boston. On March 11, join us at a soon-to-be-revealed venue for an inclusive and insightful evening that blends the sophistication of the Roaring ’20s with the forward-thinking innovation of the 2020s.

​This night brings together both new connections and reflection on the evolution of the venture capital industry. As we explore these themes, we are also thrilled to welcome Eric Paley, Secretary of the Executive Office of Economic Development for the Commonwealth of Massachusetts, as this year’s keynote speaker.

​Don’t miss the opportunity to be part of an extraordinary celebration of the past, present, and future of VC!
