HGS was a company that defined many careers and forever changed the Maryland biotech ecosystem.  Since it's been 10 years since HGS was acquired by GSK, we thought, what a great excuse for an Alumni Reunion Happy Hour! 

We're happy to have been able to bring company alumni back together for a special reunion event to reconnect with old friends, share old stories and celebrate the experiences and the relationships that were first forged many years ago.  Join us at True Respite Brewery for a trip down memory lane and a fun evening with fellow alumni.  

In addition to free drinks and light fare, we had a few special toasts by some of your favorite HGS executives and leaders and some old memorabilia on display. 

This was an event for all HGS Alumni so if you're still in touch with one of your old colleagues who didn't attend, make sure you pass along the invitation so they can join the fun next time.

Check out below to see everyone who came.
