Workforce Engagement Stations – Oregon and Washington academic institutions are graduating (and our region is developing) top notch talent! These stations will provide networking time and ample opportunity to engage with our region’s academic institutions and other workforce development professionals. We invite workforce development professionals to discuss current and potential partnerships for the cultivation of internships, company tours, industry advisory boards, job shadow programs, on-campus speaking opportunities, campus-based career fairs and more. Whether you are interested in understanding where the talent is, looking for talent, or just interested in giving back, be sure to engage in this discussion. If you are with an academic institution or workforce development organization, there are limited spots remaining to host a station. Contact Julie Black for details: Julie@oregonbio.org.
Luncheon Meetup Tables – Lunchtime will provide a unique opportunity to engage with subject matter experts and like-minded individuals on a variety of topics and/or use the opportunity to gather and network with a diverse group of life science professionals from specific regions within the Oregon and SW Washington. The planning committee is hard at work narrowing down all of the exciting possibilities. Those under consideration are noted below. Stay tuned for more details as the conference draws closer or email us if you are particularly passionate about one of the following:
