Hardware Meetup at NextFab: Medical Devices, Modular Robots and More

We’re very excited to be hosting “Informal,” a freelance collective for people in hardware, at NextFab South Philly. This is the first hardware meetup that brings together those interested in hardware, tech, prototyping, and innovation in Philadelphia.

Here’s a rough agenda for the evening:

5:00 pm: Arrive, mingle, and grab a bite to eat. We’ll have dinner and drinks.

5:30 pm: Opening remarks

5:45 pm: Julia Anthony, co-founder and CEO of SOLUtion Medical
SOLUTION Medical has developed an innovative approach to simplify drug delivery in crisis situations, along with a more advanced approach to hybrid drug development. Starting with products designed to help patients suffering from an adrenal crisis, SOLUtion Medical’s safe injection platform has applications in other scenarios, including administering antipsychotic drugs, in vitro fertilization, delivery of monoclonal antibodies, and cancer treatments.

6:15 pm: James Brodovsky, co-founder and CEO of Tergeo Technologies
Tergeo Tech builds semi-autonomous easily customized modular robots that help with everyday problems. The first problem Tergeo Tech is tackling is litter and urban sanitation with a semi-autonomous sweeping cobot. James’ will give a talk titled ‘Just Ask’ about the many fears and obstacles founders, especially hardware founders, face and how they can overcome them by just asking the question.

6:45pm: TBD. We’re recruiting one more presenter. If you are a Philly-based hardware founder or work for a Philly-based hardware startup, we’d love to hear from you! Shoot us a direct message here on Meetup and let’s chat.

7:15pm: Community Announcements
Anyone in attendance can get up on the mic and share their own 30-second pitch, announcement, or call for help (because, you know, hardware).

7:45 pm: Mix, mingle, and close out the night. We’ll head to a nearby bar after for a nightcap.
