Cities are built and rebuilt, and Portland is in transition once again. With leadership, intention, and purpose we drive progress by uniting our diverse perspectives. The magic of our culture and community is realized through the amalgam of creativity, technology, and innovation.
Year 12 is inspired by the unlimited potential and endless possibilities revealed through the alchemy of ideas. Twelve speakers, represented by 12 vibrant colors and unique symbols, will demonstrate how essential we all are in catalyzing change — in the Rose City and beyond.
Together we will challenge each other to think differently and take action because Portland is what we make it.
