Beer & Biotech June

This month’s Beer & Biotech is serving up innovation with a local twist! Join us for a laid-back evening of great conversation, cold drinks, and cutting-edge biotech as we welcome Drew Bratton, CEO of P1 Technologies—and a proud native of our region.

Drew will discuss how P1's integrated, employee-owned manufacturing model delivers components for critical medical, defense, and audio applications. With in-house capabilities spanning from design and engineering to precision molding and cleanroom production, P1 ensures speed, consistency, and high quality. He'll present a real-world product example developed for a spine surgery application, demonstrating the power of early-stage collaboration. Drew will also highlight how local manufacturing supports Virginia's biotech growth and invite opportunities for partnership.

Whether you’re deep in the biotech space or just curious about what’s being built in your community, this is the perfect place to learn, connect, and raise a glass with fellow innovators.

Come for the beer. Stay for the biotech. Leave inspired.
