# Decisions, decisions: One Portland Startup Week event. That's all we ask.

I get it. First off, you’re super busy. Working on your startup. Building stuff. You’re heads down. You don’t have time to be lollygagging around all week, attending events. And even if you were thinking about attending [Portland Startup Week](http://portland.startupweek.co "Portland Startup Week"), with more than 70 events from which to choose, it’s a bit daunting.

So I thought this might help. I’ll hand pick a few events. Give you at least one choice each day. And then, if you can commit to making it to just one event…? We all win. Folks get to see you. You get to see folks. Rainbows. Unicorns. Magic.

But I can’t pick just a favorite or two. So I’ve broken them down into daytime and evening events for the week. Hopefully, that way, you’ll find at least one that work.
