AI Venture Discovery Salon + Open Networking – August 18, 2025

AI Venture Discovery Salon + Networking Reception
August 18 | 1403 University Avenue

Join us for a two-part event celebrating student-led innovation at the intersection of real-world challenges and emerging technologies.

From 2:00–3:30 PM, the AI Venture Discovery Salon will feature select student teams from the UW Tech Exploration Lab’s AI Venture Discovery Pilot sharing their summer progress with invited mentors, funders, and industry leaders. This intimate, invitation-only session is designed to surface feedback, validate concepts, and accelerate promising ideas toward future venture pathways.

Immediately following, from 3:30-5:30 PM, doors open for a casual networking reception hosted in partnership with Discovery to Product (D2P).

All are welcome to meet the teams, explore early-stage AI ventures, and connect with students, industry professionals, alumni, entrepreneurs, and members of Wisconsin’s innovation ecosystem. Light refreshments will be served.
