VLAB is a network of human beings who make innovation happen in Silicon Valley.
![Page 4: VLAB Party Mission - 2010](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022051816/5469698daf795909568b5dd6/html5/thumbnails/4.jpg)
The Panels are only one part of the story.
![Page 5: VLAB Party Mission - 2010](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022051816/5469698daf795909568b5dd6/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
The panel events are the most visible to our guests.

However, there are the conversations that are not immediately visible.
![Page 7: VLAB Party Mission - 2010](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022051816/5469698daf795909568b5dd6/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
Let’s make the people & processes visible at the VLAB party.
![Page 8: VLAB Party Mission - 2010](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022051816/5469698daf795909568b5dd6/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
It’s here that abstract ideas are voiced and relationships that are formed.
![Page 9: VLAB Party Mission - 2010](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022051816/5469698daf795909568b5dd6/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
And it’s only through human networking that start-ups are created.
![Page 10: VLAB Party Mission - 2010](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022051816/5469698daf795909568b5dd6/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
This is how start-ups become a reality.

How do we connect people through stories and relationships?

We meet so rarely face-to-face
Google Groups Pages only go so far
For a complicated project like this we need to be on one system
