Thrive - PDX

Tuesday November 11, 2008 from 5:00pm - 7:00pm

Kells Irish Restaurant & Pub

112 SW Second Ave
Portland, Oregon 97204 Get Directions

We want to open dialogue between all members of the tech community - corporate & indie, young & old, geek & nerd - to help figure out how we build a community that will survive & thrive during this economic downturn.

Why?
Based on a recent poll, we learned that 82% of tech folks in the area believe that it is important for us to explore new ways of coming together and learning from each other to survive & thrive in this time of economic uncertainty.

Additionally, 62% of the 225 respondents said that they would be interested in participating in a networking event to discuss how we can do this.

Count me in, although I really don't think there's a big "wall" between two "different" groups of people. I think it's more of a spectrum. And every local "geek" event I go to leaves me more and more encouraged. I've met a lot of people with incredible leadership skills. That's really key, because despite the difficulty of a lot of the technical things we do, the fact is that there are a lot of brilliant people in the world who can do this stuff. What makes the difference is leadership and people skills.
