Thank you all for being patient while we rescheduled our event! We're excited to be back on for April 24th :-)

Join us for our 11th event, and our first Community Night, hosted by Crowd Supply! For this event, we’re inviting members to share a project, demo a prototype, or present an idea in a casual 3-5 minute slot. This is a great opportunity to showcase something you’ve been working on—whether it’s a hardware hack, a new product, or an experiment you’d like feedback on. The only requirement? It should be something you haven’t shared with the group before!

If you’re interested in sharing a project, reach out to the organizers with the following details to let us know what you’d like to share:

* Your name
* What you’d like to present
* Any relevant links (i.e. if your project has a website, crowdfunding page, etc)
* If you’ll be doing a live demo, presentation, or both
* The reason you’d like to present - sharing your idea, getting feedback, looking for collaborators, etc

**Agenda**
6:00-6:30 - Arrival, mingle, grab refreshments
6:30-7:30 - Scheduled Community Presentations with audience Q+A
7:30-8:00p - Overflow Community prototype/demo sharing, mix + mingle

Don't miss out on the chance to learn about amazing products being designed and made in Portland, while making new connections, sharing ideas, and getting inspired. See you there!
