Attendance is limited to 8 volunteers to ensure a meaningful, hands-on experience. Your registration fee supports a donation to Blanchet House, multiplying the impact of your contribution. Scheduled right before the Innovators’ Saturday Night Welcome, this is your opportunity to take two hours to meet new peers in a meaningful way and give back to the Portland community.

Mpact Innovators Presents – Saturday Night Welcome
Meet in Lobby
Arriving on Saturday? Ease into the action with a laid‑back introduction to downtown Portland and its lively waterfront. Think of it as a casual “choose‑your‑own‑pace” walking/rolling tour to help you get acquainted with bike paths and transit connections. See some quirky landmarks along the way, including Mill Ends Park, the “World’s Smallest Park.” The evening concludes at a nearby local food hall, where you can grab a bite or drink and keep the conversation going. It’s the perfect low-pressure way to meet fellow attendees and soak in some weird and wonderful Portland charm before the conference begins.
