So\, when you’re fighting the battle every d ay to make things work\, yet only hearing about Company A getting yet an other round of capital\, or Business Z being acquired\, it’s easy to fee l like you’re a failure. \;\n \;\nBut your success doesn't have to look like everyone else's. Which is good\, since it probably won’t. And honestly\, sometimes failure isn't so bad. \;\n \;\nThis month’s Tech Tuesday is about the difficulties faced in building\, launching\, a nd keeping a startup afloat. We’ve put together a panel of local entrep reneurs who will be sharing their stories\, talking about the struggles they’ve faced as founders\, and discussing what they’ve learned so far.& #13\;\n \;\nWe’ll also have an Advisor to numerous startups sharing h is perspective\, insights\, and tips. \;\n \;\n \;\nPanelists:& #13\;\n \;\n• Kevin Dewhitt\, Founder\, PDO Technologies\, Inc \;\ n \;\n• Josh Carter\, CEO/Co-Founder\, Plunk \;\n \;\n• Paul Wa gner\, CEO/Co-Founder\, CloudEngage \;\n \;\n• Paige Hendrix\, Fou nder\, ClientJoy \;\n \;\n• Dylan Boyd\, Advisor \;\n \;\n&# 13\;\nModerator: \;\n \;\n• Sara Morrow\, Talent Partner\, eBay Ma rketplaces \;\n \;\n \;\nThe combined backgrounds\, experience\ , and personalities of our panelists should provide for a fun\, interest ing\, and educational evening.

CymaSpace is a non-profit technology incubat or and performance venue in SE Portland that’s using cymatic technology to do some very cool stuff with the performing arts and accessibility.&# 13\;\n \;\nCymatics is the science of wave phenomena (especially soun d wave phenomena) and their visual and tactile representations. \;\n& #13\;\nWe found Myles to be incredibly inspiring and motivational\, and were absolutely thrilled when he agreed to participate in this month’s M eetup. He’ll be sharing his personal experience with hearing impairment\ , the motivations and passions behind CymaSpace\, and the technologies b eing developed there. \;\n \;\nThere will be demos of CymaSpace’s hardware and software technologies during Myles’ presentation. The demos will include an acoustic singer/songwriter performing original songs\, accompanied by a Certified Deaf Interpreter performing interpretive ASL\ , and a musical duo playing various instruments to demonstrate a full ra nge of sonic frequencies translated into light. \;\n \;\nIf we’re lucky\, there will be some other cool demo surprises as well. \;\n 3\;\nThis event is all-ages and with ASL interpreters for both the verba l presentation and demos\, it is designed to be fully accessible to the Deaf community. As always\, our Meetup is open to the public\, so please spread the word. \;\n \;\nAs usual\, doors open at 5:45pm and the presentation starts at 6:30pm. We expect this one will run a little lon ger than usual\, though\, ending closer to 8:15ish. \;\n \;\n \ ;\nMore about CymaSpace: \;\n \;\nhttp://www.cymaspace.org/ \;\ n \;\nCymaSpace’s mission is to make the performing arts more accessi ble and inclusive to Deaf and Hard of Hearing communities by supporting research and development of new and emerging cymatic technology\, hostin g workshops and forums\, and supporting an in-house team of tech innovat ors. \;\n \;\nCymaSpace also presents live performing arts events enhanced by specialized equipment and installations which translate audi o information into sight (light) and touch (vibration). \;\n \;\n& #13\;\nRSVP now and we'll see you on the 27th! \;\n \;\n\n\nTags: Tech Tuesdays\, tech tuesday\, eBay Community Lounge\, accessibility\, m usic\, performance art\, Tech Talks\, cymatics\, technology\n\nImported from: http://calagator.org/events/1250469223 URL:http://www.meetup.com/eBay-Tech-Tuesdays/events/225906087/ SUMMARY:eBay Tech Tuesdays: "Music + Tech + Accessibility = Love" LOCATION:eBay Community Lounge: 1400 SW 5th Avenue\, 3rd Floor\, Portland OR 97201 US SEQUENCE:2 END:VEVENT END:VCALENDAR
