PUGSfest 2017 - A gathering of the 80 smartest people you know
from $49.00
It's officially a tradition: the epic PUGS learning party is back for its sophomore year!
PUGSfest is a full-day of taster workshops from some of Portland's most brilliant minds. This year's theme is: SPACE/SPACES:
"Spaces in between, spaces outside. Spaces of resistance. Spaces delineated. Spaces undefined. Outer space. We fight for it and we destroy it. Space's pervasiveness and invisibility make it ripe for investigation."
When: Saturday, April 22
9:00 am - 4:30 pm
Where: Taborspace
5441 SE Belmont St.
How much: $49 (after 4/17 late reg = $59)
How does PUGSfest work?
On April 22, a dozen speakers pitch their ideas -- 3 minutes each -- and you (as a participant) choose 4 one-hour sessions that you want to attend throughout the day.
“I had been curious about PUGS for a while, but hadn’t yet taken the plunge. PUGSfest was a great introduction and the best way to see what PUGS is all about. It was inspiring to be surrounded by so many other intellectual and passionate people. Wish I could have attended every single workshop.”
Thanks to our sponsor, Fully, as part of your PUGSfest ticket purchase, you will automatically be entered into a drawing for a free Jarvis Adjustable Height Standing Desk.
