⚡ Sold out 3 years running. Where we're going, we don't need roads.
The Night
Since 2013, the NEVYs have been New England's premier celebration of the venture ecosystem, the one night a year when the founders, funders, and operators behind Tech, Healthcare, and Life Sciences stop building long enough to celebrate how far we've come.
For our 14th year, we're going Back to the Future: honoring the innovators who brought us here, toasting the breakthroughs defining what's next, and throwing the kind of party the NEVYs are famous for. A DeLorean-worthy entrance, the ecosystem's best-dressed (88 MPH optional), eight awards celebrating the full community, and 500+ of the people you actually want to see ... all in one room.
The community behind the future
The one night to be in the room
Three sellouts running. A theme worth dressing for. The one night all year the whole ecosystem is in the same room, in a good mood, celebrating its own. Miss it and you're hearing the stories secondhand.
Tickets · Released in timed waves
One ticket type, released in timed waves with each wave capped. When a wave sells out, the price goes up, and it never comes back down. Sold out three years running; waiting is the one strategy that has never worked.
Move fast, get rewarded. The lowest price this room will ever see, strictly limited quantity. Once this wave is gone, it's gone, and the price only climbs from here.
Grab Early BirdThe standard ticket once Early Bird sells out. Same legendary night, same 500+ room, regular price. Still the smart move, until it isn't.
Get GeneralThe final release before door prices. If we reach this wave, we're nearly full, and you're cutting it close.
