# InnoTech Oregon 2008: Too much good stuff

[![InnoTech](https://i0.wp.com/siliconflorist.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/02/innotechlogo.gif?w=925)](http://www.innotechconference.com/pdx/registration.php "InnoTech general registration")I’ve been watching the [ InnoTech Oregon Conference](http://www.innotechconference.com/pdx/ "InnoTech Oregon") grow into its own over the past five years. And while I was always close to attending (I think I may have even registered, last year), I never quite found the time to make it.

This year, I’m making time to attend.

I’ve always found InnoTech interesting because of its variety. Traditional business and cutting-edge technology. Green tech and CIOs. Non-profits and eMarketing. To me, it has the opportunity to be one of the few annual tech events that truly helps start and continue conversations among the different groups that work and live in Portland and the surrounding areas. Be those groups factions of the same business or complementary businesses working together.

In fact, there’s so much happening at the conference, I’m going to have to break it into multiple blog posts.

But I wanted to start with this. The folks at InnoTech have offered a 25% discount to all of you Silicon Florist readers. So, if you’re considering attending, please take advantage of it:
