Description

Join us on 10/21 at our annual Built Festival Main Event! This year, with the ongoing support of Travel Oregon, we are excited to present an amazing lineup of fireside chats between industry founders and leaders (with more still to be announced). Each one will inspire, inform and look to spark conversations around Oregon's unique place within the consumer product ecosystem. The event will take place throughout the afternoon with ample time for networking and community building, including a happy hour reception sponsored by Bridgewell Agribusiness. In addition, we will have a marketplace featuring some of our Accelerator and Bridges companies (get an early jump on holiday shopping!). As a nonprofit, we rely on the Built Festival as one of the primary means of generating operating capital for our organization. Your patronage makes this event and future events like it possible. In addition, we'd like to thank our additional sponsors - Village Family Capital, Prosper Portland, & OnPoint Community Credit Union.

A digital image of vaccination card will suffice. - Water stations will be set up and attendees are encouraged to bring their own water bottles. - Hand sanitizers and disinfectant wipes will be present and people will be encouraged to use them. - If someone gets sick after our event, we will follow the CDC guidelines outlined on their site. - Even though the ceilings in The Redd are really high, we are planning on rolling up the doors and providing as much fresh air as possible...and since it’s October, we ask that you dress accordingly for the weather.
