GlobalPDX Annual Conference

This year’s theme:

Local to Global: Sustainable Solutions for a Changing World

About Our Event

We are delighted to grow and expand our community at this, our third annual GlobalPDX Conference! This year’s conference will take place at the Smith Memorial Student Union on October 24th. In 2018, nearly 160 people from across Oregon attended the conference representing a wide range of non-profits, businesses, and universities. This year, we hope to broaden our presence in Portland by hosting the most dynamic speakers, innovative sponsors, and engaged attendees! 2019’s conference will be a full day of networking opportunities, workshops, panel discussions, and plenary sessions which are designed to help us all expand our understanding of how local actors can have positive global impacts.

We are proud to announce that our GlobalPDX Conference Introduction will be lead by Stephen Percy, President of PSU. Just as thrilling, our Keynote presentation will be lead by Lynn Renken, Executive Director of Mercy Corps NW!
