Beer and Blog 4–6pm Green Dragon Bistro & Brewpub The website says... "Beer and Blog is about bloggers helping bloggers over beers. It is a meet up that takes place every Friday from 4pm until at least 6pm at the Green Dragon in Portland, OR. It started as a means to swap information among peers in the Portland tech scene. Now it has grown into a weekly happy hour for Portland area bloggers. Sometimes we work. Sometimes we discuss. Sometimes we go on a field trip. But we mostly play and celebrate the transition from the work week to the week end. It’s the kind of place that is fun to network in, kindle ideas into side projects, and announce a release." ... but it really has very little to do with blogging. |

OEN Workshop: What's your company worth? Everything you need to know about company valuation 4–6pm Lane Powell As an early stage entrepreneur looking for the first round of funding, one of the most daunting tasks may be determining the valuation of your company. In this workshop, we will cover the basics of valuing a seed or launch stage company, and answer some questions, such as: Who sets the valuation - the company or the investor? What does pre-money and post-money valuation mean? How do I calculate it? How do I value my company if we don’t yet have revenues? How do investors determine the valuation? How have valuations changed in the economic downturn? We'll explain the terminology, demystify the math and explain some of the ways that valuation is set during the funding process. There will be plenty of time for Q&A, so come armed with your questions and be ready to participate in a lively discussion about valuing early stage companies. $30 for OEN Members; $70 for non-members. Speaker: Naomi Derner

SAOpdx: Collaboration in Social Media featuring Richard Boly of the US Department of State 5:30–7:30pm Multnomah Athletic Club (MAC) Presented by the Software Association of Oregon's Marketing + Sales Forum & Social Media Club PDX You are invited to join us for an exceptional keynote presentation followed by a Q&A session with a full panel of local collaboration and social media experts. Agenda
KEYNOTE: Embracing Social Media at the U.S. State Department: If the Oldest Federal Agency Can, Why Can’t You?
Then the end of the Cold War was followed by the East Africa embassy bombings and 9/11. The paradigm shifted. The lack of information sharing and collaboration meant that puzzle pieces remain scattered and threats were unidentified. In this shift, the State Department’s office of eDiplomacy was born. Come find out how State Department has embraced lightweight social media tools behind the firewall to move from a need-to-know culture to need-to-share one. Meet Richard Boly, Director of eDiplomacy, US Department of State
In a prior life, Richard was the first Presidential Management Fellow with the Inter-American Foundation, was a consultant with the Inter-American Development Bank, and founded and ran a shrimp hatchery in coastal Ecuador. He is a graduate of Stanford University and the Graduate School of International Relations and Pacific Studies at UCSD. Q&A Session Panelists

TechAmerica Talent Management Workshop: Tools for the Twenty First Century Workforce 7:30–11:30am Multnomah Athletic Club (MAC) About the Workshop:
Session 1 (8:00 – 9:00 a.m.):
Session 2 (9:00 – 10:00 a.m.)
Session 3 (10:15 – 11:15 a.m.)
There are many reputable sources - researchers, management commentators, psychometricians - who have expressed doubts about the validity and reliability of the performance appraisal process. Some have even suggested that the process is so inherently flawed that it may be impossible to perfect it. At the other extreme, there are many strong advocates of performance appraisal. Some view it as potentially the most crucial aspect of organizational life (Lawrie, 1990). Dr. Steve Hunt will talk about how the performance management process is shifting from an administrative process used to justify pay decisions to a forward focused tool for enabling business execution.
