Welcome to PubTalk
This monthly event celebrates the spirit of entrepreneurship in Central Oregon and strives to provide a unique forum where leaders of growing businesses can network with qualified funding sources, fellow entrepreneurs, key advisors, and business professionals. PubTalk is the 3rd Thursday of every month.
Event Overview
Our monthly PubTalks feature a keynote speaker, as well as presentations by early stage companies seeking capital, advice, and feedback on their business plans. Keynote speakers are business leaders from around the region and state who share innovative business concepts, best practices and "lessons learned" for the benefit of the PubTalk audience.
Location: McMenamins Pub, Bend
Upcoming Speakers
We have an outstanding slate of keynote speakers in store for the balance of spring 2008.
| January 15, 2009: Gregg Patterson, CEO and Chairman of PV Powered
Kick off the New Year right with keynote speaker Gregg Patterson, CEO of PV Powered, Bend's innovative inverter manufacturer in the solar industry. Patterson will share lessons learned in a dynamic, growing industry.
We have two early stage presenters - Imperial Stock Ranch Food Company (with a plan for a completely transparent food system that allows a consumer or restaurant to trace meat back to its origin) and Wild Red Energy, whose first product is the Official Energy Bar of the National Ski Patrol.
