8th Annual Athletic & Outdoor Industry Celebration

Prosper Portland’s 8th Annual Athletic & Outdoor Industry Celebration on December 7th will bring together Portland brands and talent under one roof to network and support new/upcoming start ups and entrepreneurs.

The Portland metro is comprised of legendary brands, designers, and entrepreneurs. The stories and the people behind these brands are driving forces and inspiration for the next generation of A&O talent.

For that reason, this year our annual event will feature the finalists of our “In the Running” Pitch Competition in partnership with Oregon Angel Fund (OAF). OAF is one of the largest, most active venture funds in the region, investing in such A&O brands as Wildfang, Outdoor Project, and The Clymb. (There is still time to apply to In the Running. Apply by 5pm, Wednesday November 15th!)

Tickets to the annual event includes entry into our raffle to win prizes from Deja Bags, Grafletics, Egg Press and Columbia, 2 drink tickets and a give-away from our Platinum Sponsor – Coast.

SHOP AT OUR ANNUAL EVENT MARKETPLACE:

In addition to In the Running Pitch voting, the event will also feature a vendor marketplace, just in time for the holidays so you can shop for yourself or for holiday gifts!
