# Thinking about lunch? Don't forget Jama Software is buying on Wednesday as Portland Lunch 2.0 returns

I’m really happy to see the response to the return of [Portland Lunch 2.0](http://www.meetup.com/Portland-Lunch-2-0/ "Portland Lunch 2.0"). Lots of companies wanting to sponsor. Lots of people wanting to attend. Lots of Portland types getting to meet one another. Which all in all equals a whole lot of awesome.

What’s Lunch 2.0? It’s an opportunity for Portland startups—and those companies interested in the startup scene—to open their doors, cater lunch, and invite a bunch of folks to come join them. Originally started in Portland by Jake Kuramoto, the event was a fixture for the Portland startup scene and connected a number of folks in town.

Now, it’s back. And we’re kicking off the first event at [Jama Software, Wednesday, November 14 at noon](http://www.meetup.com/Portland-Lunch-2-0/events/89256562/ "Jama Software hosts Portland Lunch 2.0"). We’d love to have you join us.

Can’t make that one? No worries. We’ll work to have at least one Lunch 2.0 every month.

Upcoming:

- [CrowdCompass hosts December 6](http://www.meetup.com/Portland-Lunch-2-0/events/89375562/ "CrowdCompass hosts Portland Lunch 2.0")
- [Geoloqi/Esri hosts on January 16](http://www.meetup.com/Portland-Lunch-2-0/events/91222942/ "Geoloqi/Esri hosts Portland Lunch 2.0") (space is limited)

Interested in hosting? Sign up to [host Portland Lunch 2.0](https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/viewform?formkey=dHAtaGN1VTJXdFVReEVfcXZVQ3lWdmc6MQ#gid=0 "Host Portland Lunch 2.0") in 2013. Interested in future events? Join [Portland Lunch 2.0 on Meetup](http://www.meetup.com/Portland-Lunch-2-0/ "Portland Lunch 2.0 on Meetup") and get alerts as new lunches are scheduled.
