Yesterday’s #DareToAsk and #HappyToHelp SMB Network Meeting, along with the BBQ on July 4, 2024, was a success! Connecting science and business is a crucial aspect of this gathering, and we’re glad with the outcome.

We enjoyed compelling pitches, delicious food, vibrant music, and an incredible crowd. It was wonderful to meet you all, whether for the first time or as a reunion. We hope you found the networking sessions both before and after the event as enriching as we did.
