What we’re about
Strengthening Bend’s innovation ecosystem by connecting the people and ideas that can shape its future as a true tech hub.
Are you tired of setting 5am alarms to beat the crowds at popular trailheads, sick of watching wedding photographers claim every scenic overlook, and looking for a reason to meet up with like-minded people?!
Let's make the most of this time by connecting at tech talks, happy hours, morning coffees 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.
Besides expanding your personal and professional horizons, we aim to help the local community. Every event benefits the greater good. A portion of the ticket sales go to a nonprofit of the community's choice, so share one when registering for an event.
Can't make the next event? No worries. We get together regularly. Join the group to get the latest announcements.
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.
