Annual Celebration + Awards Ceremony

Does it seem odd to celebrate 2020? Maybe. It's been a tough year. But it's also been a year of unbelievable growth and engagement for the PDXWIT community and Portland’s technology industry as a whole.

We are looking forward to coming together with our host AT&T to look back on a very strange year. The theme of the event will be Celebrating our Community. In honor of our theme, our conversation starter for the night will be “How do you celebrate your community?”

We will also be hosting our annual Awards Program. Stay tuned for details on how to nominate and vote for Best Contributor and Best Speaker!

We will hear from our virtual host, AT&T, about the company and share open job opportunities.

As always, we will have our Virtual Job Seekers Lounge where attendees looking for career opportunities can connect in real time with recruiters who are hiring. Note that if you want to participate in this feature, we recommend joining PDXWIT slack before the event.

We will have ASL interpretation throughout the event.

Agenda:
5:00 p.m. - Zoom Webinar Open/Virtual Networking
5:05 p.m. - Introductions, Announcements + Lightning Speakers
5:20 p.m. - Special Edition Recruiter Roll Call
5:45 p.m. - Virtual Job Seekers Section via Slack/Face-to-Face Networking
6:15 p.m. - Event ends

Our events are inclusive. ALL people who support our purpose are welcome.
