Attending Portland networking/social events is one of the best ways to meet innovative locals, learn cool things, and get new clients/collaborators for various projects. A weekly list of Portland Tech/Networking events has been requested of me multiple times, and this list is the culmination of those requests. I hope it benefits you in as many ways as possible!

This week, Bram Pitoyo and I will be attending all of these events. Bram’s reviews can always be found on his blog, Link En Fuego, soon after each event. I’ll be reviewing/live-tweeting from the Internet Strategy Forum as well as doing some experimental analytics on it.

We hope to see you soon!
