Event Details

Central Oregon Beer + Founders + Hackers + Usergroups + Impromptu Presentations = The Bend Venture unConference 

This year we're at the BendBroadband VAULT.

Stop by on Thursday afternoon to participate in lively, casual discussions while enjoying the best of Central Oregon's tastes and tech talent.

Parking: Allowed only on Sockeye Place and the dirt lot at the end of Sockeye Place. Please use the shuttle from the Oxford hotel or carpool (or bike) if possible. Thanks for understanding!

All attendees and exhibitors must present photo ID in order to be admitted to the Vault.

 

What's the agenda at the 2012 unConference?

Presentation topics are set by attendees during the first hour of the conference, so the agenda is up to YOU. Attendees are invited to deliver a 5 minute talk (no sUnconference Attendees.jpeglides) in one of these three tracks: 

  • Lessons Learned
  • Hacks
  • New Ventures

That's followed by 5 minutes for discussion. Slots fill up every year, so arrive early if you intend to present! Whether it's sage advice or a funny& irreverent tale, we want your take. Everyone's encouraged to jump in.

The FoundersPad Speed Pitch Competition

FoundersPad, the startup accelerator in Bend, works with a select few companies for an intense 12-week bootcamp on Lean Startup Principles, Customer Development, and - you guessed it - pitching for investment funds.  FoundersPad companies past and present will pitch their hearts out to convince the crowd that they deserve the coveted "Wild Card" spot to pitch in the Concept Stage Competition at BVC the next day.  The pitches are fast, the passion is high and it all comes down to your vote - this is an event you don't want to miss!

 

What else? HSilipint Bend Ale Trail.jpgow about a flowing keg of great local beer, tours of the BendBroadband Vault datacenter, cocktails made with local spirits, tasty treats from local foodies,a huge expo with information about local tech user groups and other community-minded organizations, the 10 minute talks...and YOU.

Created three years ago by the local Tech Alliance and its co-working space, TechSpaceBend, the unConference gives a nod to Central Oregon's incredibly talented techies -both those who have a gig with a local shop, and many more who've found their telecommuting heaven right here in the High Desert.       

See you there.
