Building Bridges to Baltimore

Posted by Jim H on January 30, 2008

Last night I attended a dinner meeting in Baltimore, sponsored by the Greater Baltimore Tech Council called Face2Face. I have an ambitious goal of building bridges with the Biotech communities in the “Greater Baltimore” region and in Frederick.  I have alway found it ironic that there is a beautiful, wide open expanse of interstate highway linking the two Cities.  I can testify that the 40 mile commute to 695 can be readily accomplished in 30 minutes or less 99% of the time on Mon-Fri between 6 AM and 9 AM.  Not quite the same heading to the South East to Montgomery County and No Va.

So I am trying to keep the links I had established while spending the past 3 years  working in the Greater Baltimore Biotech scene, notably with the UMBC Tech Center in Catonsville.  I invited everyone from the GBTC to our BioBeers II festivities, but thus far no takers.  I have been receiving a steady stream of RSVP’s for BioBeers II.  I think we’ll at least hit 3X the inaugural events attendance, so come early!
