This year promises to be one to remember as our event space is the stunning Nordic NW. We've tied our theme in with our tagline: "Northward: Skills, Strategy, Community."

This full day conference will have outstanding speakers and CLEs, and is sure to be one to remember. We will lean into the northward theme with a fantastic catering menu from Broder Söder and our keynote speaker is known in the Nordic community as the Bard....Rumor has it, they even have a troll on site. Hopefully we will be able to catch a glimpse of him on the day of our event.

Afterwards, we will head over to Portal Adventures in Beaverton for some light appetizers + cash bar and some fun and interactive team building as we try to solve an escape room adventure!
