First and foremost, we promote an environment of sharing and caring, rather than competition, hoarding of resources, fear, ego, power and control over others. You see, one of our pet peeves (the producers of the show) is that most gatekeepers in the business world that can help you, only do help those who are already successful or well on the way. That leaves up-and-coming entrepreneurs largely on their own, fighting for scraps.
We change that dynamic with a team of designated connectors, identifiable by their specially-colored badges and lanyards. These are people who not only have large networks and love making connections, but some of them are masters at creating high impact ideas and packaging them with the assets needed to bring them to fruition – especially introductions. And I don’t mean basic needs, like a website designer or branding professional, but strategic initiatives such as creating information products, amplifying your brand with subject matter expertise/endorsements, setting up strategic partnerships, franchising, or licensing your intellectual property.
Underpinning that system of sharing is one singularly powerful idea: As you build your dream, it builds you. With better training, resources, connections and mindset, you become what your business needs: a builder of great companies. And TechCeleration is the central meeting place – like a refueling station for your supplies and spirit – that expedites your entrepreneurial journey.
To lay the groundwork, we all know that turning dreams into reality begins with education and mindset. So our speakers and content are carefully chosen to take entrepreneurs through a foundational curriculum – informal as it is – of root-level skills and understandings that empower your entrepreneurial effectiveness. However, most don’t know what they need, and don’t have the confidence in themselves (yet) to ask for it. So we just hand it to you. All you have to do is embrace it and not let go.
From the best teachers come your most valuable lessons:
• How to build profits into your business from Day One is one example.
• Finding and proclaiming what makes your business different and special is a third business power tool that helps you dominate your market.
• Understanding how others think in order to get agreement and buy-in, while avoiding conflict and misunderstandings is another.
• And learning how to finance your dreams is must-know material for every business builder.
Yet, the best lessons are not academic. Through the event, you get to practice skills such as clarity of thought and direction, speaking the language of capital, and the power of request. We exercise those muscles throughout so you leave with more powerful communication skills as your new normal. You’ll learn about the imperceptible influences all around you that upset your biology and drain you of energy and brainpower, and how you can protect yourself.
Like an all-you-can-eat buffet, we bring in only instructors that are willing to share what they know and help wherever they can, instead of those big-name speakers that get you pumped up, they walk off stage, and you never see them again (except maybe get a picture or two). For this, our instructors are asked to be available as much as they can for questions and one-on-one consultations. They’ll lead meal tables and special interest huddles where everyone shares (and practices) their elevator pitch and needs requests, thus expanding everyone’s ability to help each other (like a rising tide that lifts all ships).
Adding fuel to the fire, there’s a big break in the middle for an expo of service providers, sponsors, resources and speakers. It’s a target-rich environment to acquire resources crucial to your survival and thrival. Many are one powerfully-stated request away from being yours. That means you don’t have to dig too hard to hit pay dirt at TechCeleration; much of what you need is in the room for the asking – either in-person, or by referral.
Even better: When school’s out for the day the real fun begins, because we study by day and apply those lessons at night. The venue is the perfect environment for meeting still more well-connected individuals, and deepening the connections formed during the day. That’s why Life Time is bringing in their mobile bar for an evening of power networking, special interest huddles, mood-making music, and private presentations. If you’ve never experienced this sort of energy, it is absolutely electric – which isn’t wishful thinking on our part. It’s a proven concept because we’re simply re-creating the camaraderie of another event that provided exactly this type of party-with-a-purpose atmosphere. You won’t want to leave there’s so many ‘good people to know’, in a mood to help you as much as they can.
But what makes TechCeleration enriching beyond mere assets, information and motivation is that we teach you how to raise capital during the day, and rent out conference rooms where people can hold private, invitation-only presentations or workshops by night. We call it we learn by day, and earn investor interest at night. That means investors and key people will be in the room. However, the majority of angels like to keep a low profile. So they circulate throughout the day, get to know others in anonymity, and observe how founders carry themselves – then decide if they want to do business with that person.
It’s a perfect way to see behind the social facade and find the people you resonate with, before you consider doing business together. Huge bonus: Investors can observe how founders perform in social situations – a huge indicator of future success, thus key in establishing trust. While, on the other hand, business builders can observe how prospective investors treat others when their guard is down (my advice: don’t accept money from horrible people).
Private presentations are also the best experiential training for future fund-raisers, just by sitting in on pitches, hearing the language, getting a feel for their structure and flow, and observing investor reactions and concerns. This gets you comfortable making your own presentations or requests, asking for money, believing you deserve it, and receiving in abundance. You’ve done your homework and reps, and people can feel it. Disclaimer: Offers to sell securities are prohibited at the event. If there is mutual interest in an investment opportunity, you need to meet after the event.
While private presentations are going on, special interest huddles are a place to find mentors that are years ahead of you in making mistakes, learning from them, and amassing deep pools of resources. These people don’t attend many lower-level events such as local Meetups, because the talent is so thin at most of them that they don’t get much value for their time – not to mention potentially being mobbed by hungry masses looking for a handout.
On the other hand, TechCeleration raises the level of talent and experience in the room by giving high fliers a reason to come: people at or above their level. They get leverage and benefits too. From first-class instructors to facilitators to experienced startup founders, help is then available for up-and-comers who are ready to make rapid progress. Again, not speculation. We are inviting successful food company founders to lead huddles, as one example, to help those who have the will, but don’t yet have the way. Winning in business can’t be any easier. Just think, wouldn’t it be so nice to give and receive in an environment where value is exchanged freely – and actually appreciated?
Now can you imagine the possibilities: As night networking begins, the aperture of your consciousness is slammed open like you’re on AZT from Limitless. To capitalize on the heightened cognition, companies of all kinds can hold creative retreats to problem solve or work on their long-term plans. Then the team goes out and harvests the ideas and resources needed to make it happen. Come back twice a year and you have a real program – a defined mechanism – to systematize growth and breakthroughs in your business. Think: remote teams meeting in a dynamic environment twice a year to synchronize their efforts.
Using leverage points like these, Super Saturday is prime time for parties to meet and form the relationships needed to produce big wins. It’s like a deal hub – that we’re intentionally facilitating. No joke folks, PDX TechCeleration is the place where ideas flood your consciousness, your network expands rapidly, progress is made toward your goals, deals get done, and you walk away a more effective businessperson… ruined for lesser events and stoked to do it again. (Though you do have to be in a mental mode to give and receive, as no one can do it for you.) It’s all about the principles of the space, and the quality of the people you meet, that up-leverage your efforts.
Bottom line: If you want more easy wins (for a change) because the environment is catalyzing synergies and collaboration… if this sounds like your happy place… you won’t want to miss TechCeleration ‘24. Get your tickets early and we can make it even better. Click the button below to see prices and reserve your ticket(s) today. Graduated, then progressive pricing, is in effect. Total tickets are limited to 350 for General Admission, 50 VIP Access, and 15 Teen, in addition to exhibitor staff (maybe 50-100).
And, in case you were wondering if it’s worth coming in from out of town to join us, the answer is ‘yes’, it will be. We’ve secured remarkable rates at the coolest hotel in Beaverton. And we’re helping coordinate carpools from Bend, Seattle, Eugene, and maybe Northern California to make the event as convenient and affordable as possible. In any case, it’s a better-than national-level event at a local price. Plus, a full satisfaction guarantee is in effect. Just after the halfway point (after you’ve eaten lunch), if you don’t feel the event is for you, we’ll refund your entire admission price, no questions asked. Book now for best prices.
