"Nightlife is dying" has become a popular phrase across cities, industries, and headlines. Venues are struggling, attendance is shifting, and everyone is scrambling to diagnose the problem. But there is one solution consistently missing from every conversation: women.

Women are the heartbeat of every nightclub, bar, restaurant, and dance party- as bartenders, promoters, DJ's, managers, marketers, and creatives- yet they remain underrepresented in leadership, visibility, and decision-making roles. If nightlife is going to survive, it needs to evolve, and women must be involved not just as attendees at VIP tables, not just as mascots in skin-tight clothing, but as leaders shaping what's next.

One year ago, Women in Nightlife was created to challenge a system that often reduces women's contributions to an industry incredibly important to our culture and economy: nightlife. It began as a platform built to connect, support, and elevate women in nightlife, hospitality and music, and has grown into a community of all genders across all industries. Together, Boston has come together to provide women with the visibility, resources, and backing they need to succeed in achieving their career goals and step into leadership positions. Through curated events, social media promotion, and strategic partnerships, Women in Nightlife connects women to not only each other, but the opportunities that they've historically been left out of. This is an infrastructure women need to rise.

On Monday, March 9th (the Monday following International Women's Day) we invite you to celebrate one year of connection, community, and growth at an elevated industry cocktail party designed for the women who move the industry forward.

Time: 7-11pm
Location: Althea in Cambridge MA
Theme: Literally Anything but Black & White
Boston loves to wear black, and I'm not about it. This evening is about nuance, creativity, and the full spectrum of women shaping nightlife, hospitality, music, and creative culture. Dress code: literally anything but black and white

What to Expect:
- Intentional Networking with women across nightlife, hospitality, music, and creative industries
- A brief story-telling moment focused on women's leadership, visibility, and longevity
- A charitable component supporting the Indigenous Community in New England
- Upbeat Music designed for conversation, connection, and atmosphere- not a club night
