Expect thoughtful conversation, light bites and drinks, and a room full of people who are as passionate about good design as you are. No agenda, no pressure just genuine connection with the women driving Portland's design community forward.
Who should come: Anyone who identifies as a woman working in or adjacent to architecture, engineering, construction, interior design, urban planning, or related fields. Allies welcome.
Space is limited: RSVP today to secure your spot.
