Cascade Grill at the Oregon Zoo

Join us for this unique event!

Network over breakfast and get introduced to the work of the Oregon Zoo Foundation. Learn about opportunities for technology applications in conservation efforts and -education, and enjoy a special behind-the-scenes look at the Oregon Zoo elephants.

The Oregon Zoo has broken ground on Elephant Lands, a new habitat that sets the standard in elephant care across the globe. Come learn how the zoo is working to integrate technology into the habitat to allow visitors to connect and learn about local and global conservation efforts. Grant Spickelmier, Conservation Education Curator, and Matthew Holdgate, Conservation Research Associate, look forward to sharing ideas and goals as they hope to create a tool for the community to contribute to research through Citizen Science.
