The Spring Mixer is an exciting event for professionals in Oregon who are working to make the world a better place. Hosted by GlobalPDX, this event offers a unique opportunity to network and learn about the biggest changes coming for Oregon-based development work.

Grab a drink and enjoy the beautiful rooftop venue while you network with like-minded professionals. Learn from lightning presentations by GlobalPDX members (high-impact, short format presentations with inspiring insights into global work). Guided networking opportunities will be facilitated to connect attendees with local professionals that can help transform their impact.

The outdoor space adjoining the venue will be dedicated to free-form fun, BYO grilling, and GlobalPDX hosted beer and wine. This is the perfect opportunity to take advantage of the beautiful weather and enjoy the company of fellow changemakers. Our Spring Mixer promises to be an excellent event for professionals in Oregon who are passionate about making a positive impact on the world.
