Grab a Beer With Me and Chris Rivera Tuesday at Xconomy Meetup

The Xconomy Meetup was an experiment last month. Now I reckon it’s time to replicate the experiment.

Tomorrow afternoon, Xconomy readers are welcome to break away from the lab or the desk to come join me and special guest Chris Rivera of the Washington Biotechnology & Biomedical Association for an informal meetup-style event. Regular Xconomy readers will recall that Accelerator CEO Carl Weissman was the special guest last time around. Just like the last time, this is a free and open event in which we just invite readers to come shoot the breeze and talk about the innovation scene in a relaxed environment. Just come and go as you please.

This was a lot of fun last time around, and more than a couple readers urged me to do it again. So mark your calendars for 4 pm to 6 pm tomorrow, Oct. 26, for this event at the Streamline Tavern in Lower Queen Anne. Please shoot me a note at [email protected] if you plan on stopping by.
