Biotech Networks Speed Networking — Silver Spring

Biotech Networks brings Scientific Speed Networking™ back to Silver Branch Lagerhaus & Biergarten in Silver Spring—timed rotations for life-science professionals across research, product, and adjacent roles. The August 27 edition runs 6:00–9:00 PM. Ticket pricing is intentionally tiered: about $35 for most attendees and $95 for sales, BD, consultants, and recruiters, reflecting the host’s cost of running in-person nights. The venue is the same popular 2025 Silver Spring stop—convenient to DC, Baltimore, and Northern Virginia, and Metro-friendly.

The DMV’s biotech and health-science cluster (NIH orbit, Rockville/Gaithersburg, Baltimore corridor) rarely shows up on pure “tech mixer” calendars. Biotech Networks’ 180K-follower series is one of the clearer named life-science networking brands with a re-checkable Eventbrite leaf. Same week as the Intel Summit in Bethesda—different badge, different conversations.

Thursday, August 27, 2026, 6:00–9:00 PM at Silver Branch, 8401 Colesville Road #150, Silver Spring. Buy the correct ticket tier on Eventbrite (the host will follow up if sales roles buy the lower tier). Confirm refund window (listed up to three days before) and any sponsorship packages if you need structured visibility.

This night is right if you are a scientist, biotech operator, or life-science professional who wants structured intros. A govcon BD dinner, an association-trade rooftop, and a founder Tech Week teaser are different rooms. Honor the ticket ethics; bring a 30-second scientific or company intro for the speed rounds.
