# Bend, Eugene, and Portland will be crawling with tech types, this week

Since its inaugural gathering at the Portland Digital eXperience (the first instantiation of what would later become [TechfestNW](http://techfesnw.com "TechfestNW")), the Portland TechCrawl has continued to be the largest gathering of startup and tech folks in the city, every year. This year—[with the numbers of attendees currently well north of 1,000](http://www.meetup.com/Innovation-in-Motion/events/232639350/ "PDX TechCrawl 2016")—promises to be no different.

> TechCrawl is more of a free for all walking open house tour (but TechCrawl sounds so much better…). You will receive a map when you check in at the WeWork building. Use that to pick which offices you would like to visit. Have fun crawling and networking your way through the PDX tech offices.

And now, [two more Oregon towns are getting in on the act](http://www.techoregon.org/get-involved/techcrawl "TechCrawl").

In addition to [Portland](http://www.techoregon.org/events/2016-techcrawl-portland "TechCrawl Portland"), this year, folks in [Bend](http://www.techoregon.org/events/2016-techcrawl-bend "TechCrawl Bend") and [Eugene](http://www.techoregon.org/events/2016-techcrawl-eugene "TechCrawl Eugene") will also be visiting their own local tech companies.

All of the crawls start at 5:00PM on Thursday, September 8, 2016. Registration for the event is $5.00.

For more information or RSVP, visit the [Technology Association of Oregon TechCrawl 2016](http://www.techoregon.org/get-involved/techcrawl "Technology Association of Oregon TechCrawl 2016").
