Economic Development for Central Oregon’s (EDCO) Central Oregon PubTalk, held the fourth Thursday of the month, is a happy hour aimed at bringing together different facets of the business community in one place to network, share ideas and further local businesses.
The biggest PubTalk of the year is just a few weeks away on September 26. Watch as Bend Venture Conference Early Stage Semi-Finalists compete against each other delivering quick, three-minute pitches to win a spot on the Tower Theatre stage.
The audience and an expert panel of judges will vote to decide which five companies advance to present at BVC on October 17-18. With the largest crowd of the year, the action will be live streamed throughout McMenamins in downtown Bend. NEW: This year’s event will also include outdoor seating.
Attendance — and your vote — is key. It will help determine the five companies that advance to BVC on October 17-18, where one winner could walk away with an investment of $25,000 from Portland Seed Fund.
Don’t wait to secure your spot — this event will sell out!
