Techfest NW returns with another virtual showcase
Posted May 04, 2021
Techfest NW, Willamette Week’s annual technology conference, is back May 21 with a lineup of nationally known speakers and its competition for entrepreneurs.
As with last year’s event, held in December after months of COVID-19 delays, the all-day symposium will be virtual. But the online presentations bring a roster of well-known speakers from around the country, along with some prominent Oregon technologists.
This year’s highlights include New York Times cybersecurity reporter Nicole Perlroth, who has just published a book, “This Is How They Tell Me the World Ends,” on cyberwarfare; Marceau Michel, a prior Pitchfest NW winner, now managing director of Black Founders Matter; Mark Frohnmayer, CEO of Eugene electrical vehicle startup Arcimoto; and Lora Haddock DiCarlo, founder of the Oregon sex toys innovator that bears her name.
