Biotech Breakfast & Co-Working Day - Chicago
Chicago Biotech Breakfast & Co-Working Day
Join us for a full day of networking and collaboration as we explore biotech opportunities across Middle America! Start your morning with a Biotech Breakfast, followed by Office Hours and an All-Day Co-Working Session open to both startups and investors.
Biotech Breakfast (8:00 - 9:30 AM)
Connect with key players from the biotech ecosystem over breakfast, discussing how the Midwest is uniquely positioned for biotech growth.
Office Hours (9:30 - 10:30 AM)
Meet with top law, marketing, and biotech professionals during office hours. Drop by their tables to get valuable, practical advice—not sales pitches—tailored to your needs.
Co-Working & Networking (9:30 AM - 4:30 PM)
Stay for co-working and networking, providing a relaxed environment for startups and investors to connect and collaborate throughout the day. Lunch will be catered.
This is not a pitch event or a networking reception. The goal is to share a co-working space for a day to promote organic relationships.
RSVP to join us in shaping the future of biotech!
