About this event
If you work in health tech, care about digital health, or simply want to meet smart people building useful things in and around healthcare, this meetup gives you a local place to do it. MetroWest Health Tech Meetup is designed to be easy to join, genuinely social, and focused on real conversation with people who understand the space. About the Event This is an in-person community meetup for people interested in health tech, broadly defined. That includes startup builders, operators, clinicians, product people, engineers, investors, students, and anyone curious about how technology is changing healthcare. The goal is simple: bring together people in the MetroWest area who want to connect with others working on similar problems, exploring adjacent ideas, or looking for collaborators, peers, and fresh perspective. Rather than a highly formal conference setup, this is a more approachable gathering built around conversation, introductions, and relationship-building. Because it is a meetup, the format is intentionally flexible. You should come expecting a welcoming group environment where it is easy to jump into a conversation, meet new people, and stay as long as makes sense for you. If you have been looking for a lower-pressure way to plug into the local health tech community, this is exactly that. What to Expect Expect a social, networking-centered evening with time to talk one-on-one and in small groups. If you are new to the community, this kind of format makes it easier to ask questions, hear what others are building, and find the people you want to continue talking with after the event. A typical experience at this meetup may include: Casual arrivals and introductions starting around 6:00 PM Conversations with people across different parts of health tech Organic discussions about products, care delivery, data, operations, regulation, startups, and career paths A relaxed setting that supports both quick hellos and deeper conversations The chance to meet Jordyn and find the group easily if you are arriving on your own The plan is to gather on the patio, which gives the evening an open, informal feel and makes networking more natural. If the weather does not cooperate, the meetup will still happen inside, and attendees can find Jordyn and the group there. You do not need to prepare a presentation or come with a polished pitch. What matters most is showing up ready to introduce yourself, talk about what you are working on or interested in, and be curious about what others are building. Why Attend Health tech can feel fragmented. People often work in specialized corners of healthcare, software, research, operations, or investment without many opportunities to cross paths locally. This meetup helps close that gap by creating a regular place for those conversations to happen in person. Attending can be valuable whether you are actively building something or simply trying to better understand the ecosystem. A single evening can help you discover local founders, meet potential partners, compare notes on industry trends, or get a clearer sense of where the region's health tech energy is headed. You might come away with: New professional connections in MetroWest and the broader Marlborough area Insight into what local teams and individuals are working on Useful conversations about healthcare problems worth solving Potential collaborators, advisors, hiring leads, or future friends in the space A stronger sense of the local community around health tech Just as important, this is a chance to meet people outside your usual circle. The best meetup conversations often happen between people with very different backgrounds, and health tech is one of those fields where those cross-disciplinary exchanges are especially useful. Practical Details The meetup takes place Tuesday, May 26 at 6:00 PM EDT in Marlborough, USA. This is an in-person event, so plan to be there on site and give yourself a little time to find the group when you arrive. The current plan is to use space on the patio. If the weather changes, do not worry; just come inside and find Jordyn and the group. That makes the event easy to navigate even if you are attending for the first time or arriving a bit after the start time. Getting there is straightforward: Free parking is available in the parking garage directly in front of the taproom Additional parking is available in the surrounding parking lots The venue is less than a mile from the Assabet River Rail Trail A few useful tips for attendees: Wear whatever feels comfortable for a casual professional meetup Bring your curiosity and a quick introduction about yourself If you want stronger conversations, think in advance about what you are building, exploring, hiring for, or hoping to learn If you come alone, that is completely normal for this kind of event and a good reason to seek out Jordyn or join an open conversation circle right away If you have been meaning to get more connected to the local health tech scene, this is a practical, friendly place to start.
