Welcome to the TechPDX Community!

This is the home of Tech PDX – The front page for all tech and tech-adjacent community events in Portland, OR. Here you can find information about upcoming events and recaps of past events. The blog is a personal touch – we attend community events here personally and do all of our own writeups and photos.

I always love when folks take the opportunity to program events at different times of day. Evenings can often be full of commitments for folks, so other times are often a welcome respite. Which is why I’m happy to see AI Portland planning another AI in the AM.
