What the Tech, Bend?

A community strengthening Bend’s innovation ecosystem by connecting the people and ideas that can shape its future as a true tech hub. We envision a thriving Central Oregon where top tech talent and ambitious entrepreneurs create lasting economic opportunities.

Are you fed up with watching the Deschutes River swell with snowmelt on your morning runs, over watching breweries unveil their spring seasonals while you're still craving stouts, and looking for a reason to meet up with like-minded people?!

Let's make the most of this time by connecting at roundtable discussions, tech talks, happy hours and outdoor adventures. This group is open to anyone who wants to engage with Bend's tech community. From old friends to people new to town, all are welcome. Even better, bring a friend. There's no agenda other than getting to know each other.

Your ticket supports the community: Besides expanding your personal and professional horizons, we aim to help the local community. Every event benefits the greater good. A portion of ticket sales goes to a nonprofit of the community's choice, so share one when registering for this event.

Need a break on ticket price? Whether you're between jobs, a student or have your own good reason, we've got you covered. Contact John McMahon at jpmcmahon@gmail.com to learn about our flex ticket program.

Ready to support something awesome? Our sponsors don't buy ads. They become part of the community. If that sounds like the right fit for your company, let's chat.

See you out there!
