Breaking the Code: The Un-Hackathon for a Cause Wrap-Up
11 Oct - 04:00 PM
Portland, United States
Join the Technology Association of Oregon (TAO) and our partner, Multnomah County, as we wrap-up our first a community-driven, collaborative design sprint. Teams will be recognized and will "pitch back" to our community partner leaders who will rank solutions based on ability to implement and scale. Breaking the Code’s goal was to leverage assets from the public sector (data, staff, technology platforms, public infrastructure, small business incubation), and the technology industry (technology solutions, expertise, professionals, funding) to provide solutions that serve the community. We look forward to celebrating the end of National Digital Inclusion Week, our partners, our participants and our community.   KEYNOTE Joshua Fields | Director of Sales SW Washington & Oregon | AT&T   COMMUNITY-BASED ORGANIZATIONS (CBOs) FLYER    A SPECIAL THANK YOU TO OUR SPONSORS: AT&T Multnomah County, Port of Portland, Umpqua Bank & The City of Portland
