Network over a drink with Chicago's biotechnology professionals and build a community of biotechnologists, entrepreneurs, investors, and enthusiasts. We're continuing our series of networking opportunities to discuss challenges, opportunities, and frustrations while enjoying an evening with your professional peers from around Chicagoland.

For the new year, we're doing something really different. At 6:00, join us for a tour of Four Star Mushroom, a local biotech startup that is focused on growing the future of culinary innovation in Chicago. Then, join us afterwards at 6:30 at Midwest Coast Brewing for our usual Fermenter. Midwest Coast makes beers that support that hard-working and coastal lifestyle of Chicago, slipping into and out of any moment. Their taproom is an amazing space, and we're lucky to be having our event where great beer is made (And a 7 minute walk from the Damen Green Line stop). Between Mushrooms and Beer, we're going to be looking at two wonderful forms of mycological biotechnology for the night, and we're excited to have you join in!
The Biotech Fermenter is an event that is open to everyone, and the organizers strongly believe that working in a biotechnology future should be accessible to all Chicagoans, regardless of race, gender expression, sexual identity, national origin, or any other protected class. The Biotech Fermenter is a space for open and friendly sharing of ideas, and we are all responsible for ensuring everyone feels safe and respected. We are committed to hosting inclusive events, and will not tolerate any actions or attitudes contrary to our deeply held beliefs in inclusivity. By attending this event, you are agreeing to uphold this standard and acknowledge that the organizers reserve the right to restrict attendance.

If you have any concerns about another person's behavior, you may file a report via email with the organizers Andy Scarpelli ([andy@chitownbio.org](http://andy@chitownbio.org/ "http://andy@chitownbio.org/") ) and Ryan Brown ([ryanbrown2234@gmail.com](https://www.eventbrite.com/e/biotech-fermenter-chicagos-biotechnology-meetup-tickets-1956660868329?aff=oddtdtcreator "mailto:ryanbrown2234@gmail.com")). We are committed to ensuring that the Biotech Fermenter is a safe space for all, and will take precautionary measures or responsive actions to uphold these ideals.
