What is hypePDX?

HypePDX is a monthly meetup for PDX tech marketing folks. The goal is to put the smartest marketing pros in the PDX tech scene into a room every month to learn, collaborate and have a bit of a good time.

The goal is to keep it focused on collaboration and education. We've all been to way too many "networking events."

Every month's meetup will feature a local marketing/startup pro who can share experiences, best practices, industry knowledge, etc..
