Finance Event: Economic & Capital Markets Outlook for 2012 - The Road Ahead
Roll back
description |
About the Program:
Last fall Moodyâs lowered its economic outlook for 2012 citing political wrangling over the U.S. debt ceiling and debt crisis in Europe. Unemployment and underemployment continue to plague the economy and impact capital markets. Yet, some trends are turning positive. What is the outlook for 2012 how does it influence corporate spending and appetite for capital markets?
Panelist:
- Mike Millman, Managing Director, JP Morgan Capital Equity Markets, Technology, Media, and Telecom Equity Sector
- Randall Hopkins, Senior Vice President, NASDAQ Capital Markets Open Market Exchange
- Joe Morgan, Chief Investment Officer, Silicon Valley Bank
Event will be moderated by Jeff DeBoer, Managing Director, University of Oregon, Finance and Securities Analysis Center
Some of the issues to be explored:
⢠The US economy finished 2011 on a strong note. Jobs, spending, confidence, even industrial output all reflected an economy with some momentum. Can it continue in the first half of 2012 and beyond?
⢠What principal themes are guiding market returns in 2012 and beyond?
⢠Are banks lending again? How should companies raise capital? Is the IPO market back?
⢠How should technology investors and companies plan for 2012?
Event Details:
When: Wednesday, February 22, 2012
Time: 7:30 â 9:30 AM (7:30 Breakfast and Networking, 8:00 AM Program and Q&A)

CHIFOO Presents: Missing the Point: The Expanding World of Gestural Interaction
Roll back
description |
The paradigm of physical computing is well and truly hereâsensors and microcontrollers are getting cheaper and more robust, and they are easily programmable. Long associated with gaming, these sensors are making their way into our everyday âutilityâ devices. For example, think about the average smart phone: it likely contains a proximity sensor, an accelerometer/orientation sensor, an ambient light sensor, a gyroscopic sensor, and a moisture sensor. Cameras can recognize head motion and facial gestures; they can track body movements and compare them to motion models.
As these sensors become part of everyday interactive devices, we are ushering in new forms of gestural interaction, which is changing how we interact with digital experiences and data, and changing the nature of our computer-mediated communications. In this talk, Elizabeth will offer some observations and speculations on how the world of physical computing, broadly construed, is changing the way in which we interact with our devices, each other, and interactive digital experiences.
About the Speaker
Dr. Elizabeth Churchill is a Principal Research Scientist and manager of the Internet Experiences group at Yahoo! Research. Originally a psychologist by training, Elizabeth has focused throughout her career on understanding the ways in which people interactâwhether their interactions are primarily face-to-face or are technologically mediated. She has published within the areas of theoretical and applied psychology, cognitive science, human-computer interaction, and computer-supported cooperative work. Elizabeth has a BSc in Experimental Psychology and a MSc in Knowledge Based Systems, both from the University of Sussex, and a PhD in Cognitive Science from the University of Cambridge. She regularly teaches at the University of California, Berkeleyâs School of Information. In 2010, she was recognized as a Distinguished Scientist by the Association for Computing Machinery. She is the current Vice President of the Association of Computing Machineryâs (ACM) Special Interest Group on Computer Human Interaction (SigCHI).

Who should attend this event: CEOs and VP of HR for current and future high growth companies though any CEO that wants to build a company with a fabulous performance based culture would benefit from this event.
To register for this event, please call Kirsten Ringen, OEN Director of Membership Services, at 503-222-2270 x 113.
Speaker: Nitin Khanna, CEO, MergerTech
Nitin Khanna, CEO, MergerTech, a boutique investment bank that facilitates mergers and acquisitions for technology companies with less than $100MM in revenue. Prior to MergerTech, Nitin was the founder, Chairman and CEO of Saber Corp. a Portland based national firm focused on providing technology solutions to government clients. Nitin started Saber in July 1998 and grew it to $120MM in revenues by 2007. The company was sold to EDS in December 2007 for $460MM. Currently he is very active in the Portland tech entrepreneurial community as an advisor, investor, mentor, and teacher.

About ZH Brewing Company
The founders at ZH Brewing Company have a simple concept: foster a community built around a brewery restaurant. Both the beers and the restaurant have their roots in German brewing and culinary traditions. ZH Brewing Company customers will enjoy the same feeling of belonging in the family-friendly restaurant as they would in the traditional houses of Germany. The restaurant will offer a very fresh and handmade menu, with foods procured from local suppliers. Our goal with the brewery is to make the best German-style beers on the West Coast; the best Gluten-Free beer in the US; quaffable, session-style American beers that still interest the beer connoisseurs; avant-garde beers or recreations of extinct World beer styles to put our beers in an historical context.

AgilePDX sponsors: "The Mikado Method, or how to behead the legacy beast" workshop
Roll back
description |
For any code base there comes a time when you want (or need) to change it. If your changes are extensive, itâs easy to get lost in a jungle of dependencies or on a sea of broken code. Ultimately, you might just give up and shove it away under the legacy label. Instead of doing that, use "The Mikado Method," a systematic approach to reclaim your code. The method helps you visualize, prepare, and perform business-value focused changes, while delivering, and without having a broken code-base in the process. It enhances team communication, collaboration and learning, and helps individuals stay on track.
http://mikadomethod.wordpress.com/book/
For: Lead developers, architects, programming coaches, or anyone who wants to get some serious hands-on practice on how to work their way out of messy code while keeping the delivery frequency and business value focus.
Join Ola Ellnestam, founder of Agical.se and author of The Mikado Method, as he leads the group through exploring techniques for restructuring difficult-t0-work-with code. Ola likes to combine people, technology and business which is best done with simple means and flexible processes. More than that he likes to share his knowledge and experiences because thatâs how new insights are created according to him.
Registration fee: $85 (the participation of our sponsors helps us to keep the fee as low as possible)
