Join Us for OBI’s December Accelerate Biotech Happy Hour

This is it. The most attended and most popular Happy Hour of the entire year. If networking had a season finale, this would be it.

Come connect with innovators, founders, researchers, and bioscience professionals at our December Accelerate Happy Hour, proudly sponsored by Davis Wright Tremaine. Whether you are building something new, scouting opportunities, or trying to remember what life felt like before you lived in your inbox, this event will boost your energy before the holiday chaos arrives.

When: Thursday, December 4, 2025 | 5:30 to 7:00 PM Where: OBI Event Space | Suite 230

What you can expect:

• Packed room with new faces and fresh perspectives from biotech, digital health, and medical devices • A relaxed, collaborative space where ideas and introductions happen without forced small talk • Light food and beverages while you grow your network and your confidence

Want to share what you are working on? We offer quick two minute speaking spots at future Happy Hours. These spots are currently open beginning in March 2026. If you'd like to get on the list, email [email protected].

RSVP now and close out the year with the people who understand the joy of things like clean data and well formatted slide decks.

Last year we threw a “networking event & holiday party,” and somehow it turned into a magical circus of tech folks, holiday chaos, and one very committed leprechaun.

People walked out with random treasures — magical beans (yes, magic), a french press, makeup fridge, and whatever else we could liberate from the magical corners of Portland's oldest coworking space, NedSpace.

We had quests. We had games. We had conversations that absolutely should’ve stayed in group chat.

And somehow, in the middle of all that mischief, 60+ people made friends, met collaborators, and found their way into a Portland tech community.

This year we’re bringing the whimsy back — more oddities, more surprises, more “wait… why is this happening?” moments — all wrapped in holiday lights and NedSpace energy... This time with a view of Pioneer Square & our city Christmas tree. 🌲

And because NedSpace never does “normal,” we’re treating this as a half-potluck, half-bring-whatever-your-whimsical-heart-desires situation — food, snacks, drinks, games, oddities, or any delightful chaos you feel inspired to share with the room.

Whether you’re new to the city or you’ve been building here since dial-up, come celebrate the season with your fellow nerds, founders, creatives, and code-wizards.

Bring your curiosity, your holiday cheer, and maybe business cards for that side project you keep promising you’ll finish.

We’ll handle the quests, the chaos, and the questionable gifts.

See you there, Mischief Managed 😘

P.s. Our holiday events look like this . (We're in a new space... so let's up the ante? 😈)

Summary:

Plan 9 is an operating system with some very interesting properties, especially around distributed systems, networking, and resource sharing. It was originally developed by the same group at Bell Labs which developed Unix and shares a clear heritage that will make many parts familiar to experienced users of other unix-like systems, but in many ways represents an "alternate universe" for how Unix might have developed. While it's seen only limited commercial use, it has proven itself suitable to a wide range of applications, including supercomputer clusters, network appliances, and embedded systems. And as a small, consistent system with a unifying philosophy, it can be interesting to study and explore even outside its practical utility.

Together, let's take a brief tour of this alternate universe's history, what makes it exciting to people who live (or visit) there, the current landscape, and where it might (or might not!) be interesting for you.

Bio:

Anthony Sorace (he/him) is some sort of engineer. Professionally, his work has focused on system architecture and process analysis, looking at how people can use computers to solve (some of) their problems. On the side, he enjoys messing about with networking, databases, and systems software. He is a slightly reluctant web programmer and enthusiastic cook. He has been using Plan 9 since the late nineteen hundreds, a few weeks before starting a job at Bell Labs working with related technology, and currently serves as a director of the Plan 9 Foundation, a non-profit dedicated to advancing research on lightweight distributed systems using these technologies.

Is breaking into tech always a straight path? For many professionals, the journey includes unexpected turns, non-traditional backgrounds, and skill sets that don’t fit the typical mold. But those experiences can become powerful advantages when used well.

In this live session, you’ll explore how soft skills like communication, emotional intelligence, organization, and resilience can fast-track your growth in the tech industry. Jeremy Barger will share how his unique path from a brief stint in the United States Army, to performing standup comedy, to leading software engineering teams shaped the leader he is today.

Join us for this motivating Tech Talk on Friday, December 5 at 1 PM PT | 3 PM CT | 4 PM ET and discover how your personal strengths and experiences can accelerate your career in meaningful ways.

Whether you’re early in your tech journey or looking to grow into leadership roles, this session will give you practical insights to help you move forward.

Reserve your spot today and start building the skills that set successful tech professionals apart: https://www.meetup.com/techacademy/events/

This is not your typical AI or AGI event.

The Portland AGI Mini-Summit is one of the first events in the world to bring social science directly into the AGI debate — treating AGI not just as a technological milestone, but as a force that will reshape the fabric of society. We assume AGI is coming. The real question is: Is our civilization ready for it?

To explore this, we will confront the questions most AGI events avoid:

• Will capitalism survive AGI?
• Will democracy fall—or evolve?
• What does it mean to be human in a world of cognitive abundance?

Join us for an evening of short talks and a cross-disciplinary panel featuring:

• Joe Cortright – Urban economist, Executive Director of City Observatory, and Chair of the Governor’s Council of Economic Advisors
• Professor Fabrice Jotterand – Director of Neuroethics, OHSU
• Professor Tung Yin – Lewis & Clark Law School, national-security law
• Mounir Shita – Theoretical physicist and AGI researcher; Founder of EraNova and the Global Economic Alliance

Speakers will examine the structures of civilization — economics, law, governance, social stability, and human flourishing — and explore what may need to change to prepare for a future of AGI-driven abundance and post-scarcity conditions.

• 10–15 minute talks from each speaker
• Cross-disciplinary panel discussion + audience Q&A
• Networking session with a hosted bar
• Open to technologists, researchers, students, policymakers, and anyone curious about AGI and its impact on our planet

This event is part of the lead-up to a three-day AGI Global Summit planned for Portland in 2026.

​About this workshop

The foundation of a successful startup is a good idea, but most founders struggle to characterize the strength of their startup idea. As a result, many founders invest their time, money and effort only to build something nobody cares about. If only founders could get a specific, actionable signal sooner.

To overcome this challenge, Nascent methodology enables founders to evaluate data from discovery interviews and quantify a startup idea in dollars ($). Ultimately, founders are able to decide within seconds whether to stop the project or continue iterating.

​This workshop is ideal for founders of startups with no customers (i.e., idea-stage startups). You'll walk through a case study of a founder who applied Nascent methodology to their startup idea. If you find the methodology compelling, then you can join our January cohort and apply it to your own startup idea.

​In this workshop, we'll use a case study to teach you to:

• ​Identify People in Pain — potential customers who are actively struggling with a problem

• ​Quantify the Pain in Dollars ($) — to assess how much value you could create by solving the problem

• ​Avoid wasting time on ideas that are unlikely to be successful

• ​Make decisions with minimal data (i.e., despite having few or no customers)

People doing strange things with electricity!

Along with the usual freewheeling chaos, the quick talks continue this month with Zach Babb, presenting on: "Ripping Digital Identity through Magic: Multi-device Asynchronous Generic Input/output Consensus"

DorkbotPDX is a relaxed, informal show-and-tell for electronic artists, circuit designers, microcontroller programmers, retro computing enthusiasts, video game designers, digital archaeologists, and mod synth gearheads in Portland, Oregon.

Bring your electronic wonders, monsters, and works-in-progress for others to see, or come see what others have been working on! Whether it's code or circuits, electronic creativity of all sorts is welcome here.

Table space with power will be available for project show-and-tell; we'll have a table for drinks and snacks, feel free to contribute to the communal cache/BYOB. The Free cart is back, take or leave some components (don’t leave TOO much, if you have big stuff, maybe check the Discord/mailing list to see if anyone is interested in taking it first!)

Info and links to our Discord and other social channels are at https://dorkbotpdx.org

This month in the spirit of our strong Portland community we're holding our founder.coffee at Heretic Coffee Co, which recently raised money for many of our neighbors losing Snap benefits.

The objective of this meetup is for you to connect with your fellow founders, talk about what you are struggling with, and just get to know the community.

Hope to see you all there!

Josh & Mark

What really makes a hiring manager say yes? For many candidates, the challenge isn’t a lack of skills but understanding how hiring managers actually think, what they look for in applications, and how to present experience in a way that truly resonates. When you know how to communicate your value clearly and strategically, even a non-traditional background can become a powerful advantage.

In this live session, senior engineering leader Kelly Vaughn will share what truly stands out in applications, how to position your experience so it lands, and the common mistakes that quietly take candidates out of the running. You’ll learn how to leverage your unique background as a strength, what hiring managers look for beyond technical skills, and how to communicate your value with clarity and confidence.

Kelly will also share insights on approaching your job search strategically and will wrap up with an open Q&A where attendees can get personalized, practical advice.

Join us on Friday, December 12 at 1 PM PT | 3 PM CT | 4 PM ET for this practical and empowering Tech Talk designed to help you stand out in today’s competitive hiring landscape.

Reserve your spot today: https://www.meetup.com/techacademy/events/

Being in bioscience, your world is all about R&D—Research and Development. It's the protocols, the trials, and the data. And there's another R&D...the one that kicks in when your experiment fails, funding gets weird, or your team is just plain burnt out. This is Leadership R&D—Resilience and Determination. It’s the core skill set for navigating the uncertainty, failure, and long-term grind of innovation. Come spend your lunch hour to get research-backed, practical tools to build real resilience for yourself, and learn how to create an environment where your team can do the same. Join business coach Josh Ellison for a candid, insightful, and supportive session where you’ll walk away with strategies you can use to practice Leadership R&D that same afternoon.

Code and Coffee is an inclusive, informal co-working session. Drink some coffee, bring your laptop, and have engaging conversations. This is a great opportunity to learn from others, share your knowledge, and possibly collaborate on side projects, online courses, or even your day-to-day work tasks. Still uncertain? Let's chat on Discord!

Venue:

The Venue is at Capital One Café, who is graciously allowing us to host a space. WIFI, power outlets Recommended Parking: Smart Park, $7 all day https://www.portland.gov/transportation/parking/smartpark

Coffee:

Agenda:

10 AM - Arrival: Head to the top by the glass rooms 10:15 AM - Introductions: Share your name Discuss your current projects or interests. If you don’t have a specific project, share what intrigues you! Mention your expertise and how you can assist others. Are you job hunting or hiring? Let us know! Community events you wanna plug. If none, that's cool too. 12:30 AM - Wrapping Up: You can stay longer, but we'll officially be done! We usually grab lunch as a group at near by food carts

PDXOSGeo connects again this week, Wednesday May 20, 6:30p Hot Lips Pizza @ the Natural Capital Center 721 NW 9th Ave, Portland OR. Join us for some show and tell and good open geo discussion!

We're striving to post our speaker a couple weeks in advance of the meeting, so watch this space!

Coffee, bagels and people working on their careers and code! We have 2-5 mentors every month ready to help people get started in the industry, get help with a particular problem, or get career advice. We offer resume reviews, portfolio reviews, and sometimes mock interviews (time permitting).
