What to expect
The Maryland Tech Council's Tailgate Networking Event is a casual, outdoor evening for Maryland's life science and technology communities, with food, drinks, music, lawn games, raffles and networking. It takes place in a lit parking lot with indoor restrooms available, and the organizers advise dressing for November weather.
