PDX TechCrawl 2015

Eat, drink and talk tech at the 4th Annual TechCrawl. Here are 3 reasons you won’t want to miss it.

1. Stay connected to the ever-growing tech community in Portland (nice!)

2. Free food and beer (ahhh!)

3. Win free tickets to GeekWire Summit (http://www.geekwire.com/events/geekwire-summit-2015/), techfestnw.com (http://techfestnw.com/), musicfestnw.com (http://musicfestnw.com/) and Portland Creative Conference (http://www.cre8con.com/speakers/) (shut the front door!!)

HOW IT WORKS:

Step 1) Choose Your Track:

This year, we will have two tracks (but you can do both if you are a power networker)

• Product Track: Companies that build and sell their own products only. Includes Jive, CrowdCompass, PuppetLabs, Chirpify, Zapproved, Jama Software, Vadio, Globesherpa, Perka, Aruba Networks, AppNexus, Janrain, iovation, RADAR, Acquia, BrandLive, Webtrends, Notion, The Dyrt and more.

• Agency Track: Agencies that create and deliver services and products for other companies. Includes Response Capture, TFNW, Corsource, Aruba Networks, Metal Toad, Emerge, ThinkShout, QuickLeft, PDX Code Guild, Oregon Story Board, Pollinate and more.

Step 2) Get to the Starting Location:

• Product Track and Agency Track both start at CrowdCompass Block 300 Building, 308 SW 2nd Ave

You must arrive at the starting point location between 5:00 and 5:45 where you will be given your map for the tech crawl OR ....use this awesome app created by CrowdCompass: https://crowd.cc/pdxtc15

Step 3) Kick-off Announcements, Hop from Office to Office and Then Join The After Party:

Kick-off announcements at the starting location will take place from 5:30 - 5:45.

Then keeping it weird Portland style, the Tech Crawl is more of a free for all walking open house tour (but Tech Crawl sounds so much better...). Get your map at the starting point location, hop around from office to office, then make sure to make it to the after party at OnDeckSports Bar.

Both tracks meet at the Geekwire After Party @ Ondeck Sports Bar, 910 Northwest 14th Avenue. After party from 8:30pm to 11pm

Did we mention that GeekWire will be raffling off tickets to the GeekWire Summit (http://www.geekwire.com/events/geekwire-summit-2015/), MusicfestNW (http://musicfestnw.com/) and TechfestNW (http://techfestnw.com/) and Portland Creative Conference (http://www.cre8con.com/speakers/) at the After Party?
