Take time to talk about the talks: TechfestNW features a number of happy hours on Thursday
One of my favorite things about attending events—tech or otherwise—is the opportunity to discuss what I’ve heard with other attendees. To get their takes. And their perspectives.

Like a hallway. Or a happy hour.

This week, a bigger, better—and independent of MusicFestNW—TFNW filled the Armory in Portland with activity, energy, and a view into our tech future. Read More

Hate to wait? Get ready to be happy. TechfestNW is early this year.
