For Portland Startup Week, we'll be popping up several headshot photoshoots near Startup Week events. We'll be kicking off at CENTRL East, just ahead of the Portland Startup Women's skillshare lunch and shooting at both COSUBE and Cup and Bar. We'll round out the week at ENSO on Saturday.

So how do popup photoshoots work? You show up, we share a few laughs and take some great shots, and you get your photos within 2 business days. You can book ahead to guarantee a slot and use the code STARTUP-PDX to get 10% off the every-day price.

We're celebrating Portland's collaborative work culture across all industries. Connect with other local entrepreneurs, freelancers, startups, artists and makers in this week long conference being held as a part of International Coworking Week.

Shared work spaces have helped spark the rise of the sharing economy--and given countless individuals, entrepreneurs and startups a way to affordably start and grow their passions into businesses. This is a week devoted to celebrating those people and places creating the commons. It's also an opportunity to explore shared spaces, connect, work alongside others, socialize, and learn tips for safer, more productive work in coworking environments.

Register to attend the sessions and get a free day pass at any participating space.

Startup Week is a five day celebration of your community. Join your community in a new type of conference that builds momentum and opportunity around entrepreneurship, led by entrepreneurs and hosted in the entrepreneurial spaces you love. Startup Week is a reflection of your hard work and your community's unique entrepreneurial identity.

First and foremost, we wanted to showcase Portland and folks that champion Portlandy ideals. I’m lucky that, for the most part, I get to sit back and watch all of the amazing stuff that happens in Portland. And I consistently revel in the awesomeness that people here are building. With PDX, we wanted to showcase that almost frenetic variety of creativity in our town. But we also wanted to bring in folks who subscribed to common ideals. That’s why, in addition to some amazing Portland people, you’ll find folks like Tumblr and Flipboard on the docket.

Second, we wanted this to be a true creative festival atmosphere. One of things we wanted most was to make this a festival of creativity, with some of that being creative applications of technology and some of that being the creative spirit of the music industry. That’s why MFNW and PDX are inextricably linked. And it’s also why we’ve got speakers with a foot in music and a foot in tech, like Spotify, Shazam, CASH Music, and Tender Loving Empire.

Third, we wanted to create something intimate, inspiring, and invigorating. Many of us remember the serendipitous experiences of conferences like SXSW and Big Omaha. We wanted to capture that same kind of experience, bring interesting speakers, and get interesting folks in town for the event. Our goal is to have you sitting next to someone you never imagined having the opportunity to meet. Or getting the chance to chat with an amazing panelist at one of the concerts. Or simply running into someone on the street at the food carts. And maybe, just maybe, you’ll get to spend a little more time chatting with awesome Portland people whom you never get to see.

Last but not least, we wanted PDX to provide a good excuse for people to visit Portland. Especially for those folks who are actively considering Portland for the next phase of their business or career. You see, sometimes we forget how lucky we are to live where we do. And to work here. But rest assured, there are any number of people and companies outside looking in. And this is a great opportunity to showcase what we’ve got here.
