Whether you host a meetup, run a Slack group, or plan events, you’re invited. This is a space to talk about what’s working, where the gaps are, and how we can make 2026 a stronger, more connected year for everyone building in Portland.
Join us for a special night at the Moda Center that pairs an honest conversation about AI with a Portland Trail Blazers game - and a post-game experience on the court!
The evening will start with a pre-game AI Portland gathering, featuring appetizers and a facilitated discussion about the realities of innovation and what it actually takes to operationalize AI inside an existing organization. This will be a grounded conversation about constraints, tradeoffs, and what happens in real organizations.
After the discussion, we'll all head to our seats to cheer on the Portland Trail Blazers as they take on the Phoenix Suns.
Once the game wraps, the night continues with a special post-game free throw experience.
