Central Oregon PubTalk: The Road to BVC
Join us for the most exciting PubTalk of the season at Worthy Brewing’s outdoor stage and experience the energy of Central Oregon’s startup community. Ten early stage companies will compete to earn a spot on the Bend Venture Conference (BVC) stage. Each founder will deliver a fast-paced, three-minute pitch and the audience will vote alongside a panel of judges to decide which companies move forward to the 23rd annual BVC this October.
Come early to connect with fellow entrepreneurs and business leaders while enjoying drinks and snacks. Your vote will also help decide who takes home a $5,000 cash prize, donated by Washington Trust Bank. The 10 pitching companies will be announced in early September, so grab your seat early and be part of the excitement.
