The in-person networking luncheon will take place at The Commons at UCI Research Park located at 5301 California Ave\, Irvine\, CA 92617. \nEvent Schedule\n11:00 AM – Introductions\, Sponsorships \n11:30 AM – Technology Track Pitches \n12:45 PM – Life Science and AST Technology Track Pitches \n2:20 PM – Winners Announced  \nTracks \nTechnology\nIncludes software or hardware in the following sectors: Communications\, Wireless\, Cybersecurity\, EdTech\, Environmental Technologies (e.g. AgTech\, CleanTech\, BlueTech\, EnergyTech)\, Information Technologies (e.g. SaaS platforms)\, Internet of Things (IoT)\, Media\, and AdTech. \nPrize: Cash prize equal to twenty thousand dollars ($20\,000). \nLife Science\nThe life science industry is one that encompasses a wide range of areas. These areas can include companies operating in the fields of drug discovery\, medical devices\, pharmaceuticals\, and therapeutics offering innovative products and services. \nPrize: Priority admission or renewal to University Lab Partners and 1-year ULP lab space (one (1) – 6ft lab bench) valued at $23\,400. \nSpecialty Diagnostics x Showa Denko\nAre you developing an antibiotic susceptibility technology (AST)? The AST technology should allow for rapid analysis (minutes\, not hours)\, work in real patient matrices (urine\, whole blood or CSF)\, and be simple enough that the final product can be used by non-trained medical personnel in a physician office environment (CLIA waivable). The technology should enable an embodiment in which sample preparation is automated and incorporated into the test device. A phenotypic AST is preferred. Genotypic entries will be allowed\, but consideration should be made to identify as high a percentage of resistant bacteria or fungi as possible while optimizing specificity. \nThis is a one-of-a-kind opportunity for relevant companies / academic developers. If selected\, you will be connected to partners at Showa Denko Materials (America)\, who are actively looking to commercialize a rapid antibiotic susceptibility test technology to further develop your diagnostic technology and connect you to key stakeholders. \nPrize: Priority admission or renewal to University Lab Partners and 1-year ULP lab space (one (1) – 6ft lab bench) valued at $25\,800. \nRegister here.

SUMMARY:TAO Power Pairing: Women Leading in Tech
DESCRIPTION:WHAT TO EXPECT\nThe 2021 Power Pairing series features quarterly “fireside chat-style” interviews with women leaders from the Oregon and SW Washington tech community. Featured guests share their life stories and career journeys\, including strategies that have helped them thrive and lessons they’ve learned along the way.  \nWhile we originally planned for an in-person event\, we have decided to keep this event virtual due to the increase of COVID cases in Oregon. We’ll start the event with a round of networking where participants will have a chance to connect with other women in tech and explore themes of leadership.  \nEach event attendee will receive $15 credit to have a breakfast of their choice delivered to their residence. Grab your coffee and join us for a fun\, empowering event! \nWHO SHOULD ATTEND\nC-Suite\, VP\, and Director-level women (and their mentee/emerging leader) from technology companies\, start-ups\, and tech-enabled organizations across Oregon and SW Washington. \nWHAT YOU WILL LEARN\nThroughout the 2021 Power Pairing series\, participants will have the opportunity to consider the changing roles of women in the workplace\, as well as the challenges and opportunities facing women in leadership roles – both formal and informal. Participants will learn more about the impact that women leaders can have on their organizations—and the impact that leadership roles can have on the women who hold them. \n Featured guests will share their perspectives on these issues: \nHow do you define leadership? How does your definition manifest in your leadership style?\nHow has your leadership style adapted and evolved over your career?\nHave you benefited from a mentor or coach? Have you taken on this role for more junior women in your workplace?\nHow do you manage work/life balance?\nWhat advice would you offer to other women who are looking to lead in their workplaces or start a company?\n  \nPower Pairing\nAn intimate\, online workshop curated for C-Suite\, VP and Director-level executive women from tech companies\, and those who aspire to senior leadership. We also welcome and encourage executive-level leaders to register women they have mentored or identified as emerging leaders looking to take that next step in their careers.\n \nPanel Discussion\nCheck out our moderator & panelists for this event\nPanelist(s) \nSarah Boen\nDirector of Technology Strategy\nTektronix \nKristi Flores\nVP/CMO of Global Marketing\nTektronix \nNadine May\nCustomer Applications Manager\nPortland General Electric \nModerator \nCandace Beeke\nPublisher & President\nThe Portland Business Journal \nRegister here.
