The Growth Lounge
About Event
The Growth Lounge is a monthly meetup for marketers, founders, and business leaders, hosted at the Rose Room in The Big Pink, Portland, in partnership with Upstart Collective.
The conversation at the edge of marketing and technology. Marketing is changing faster than most playbooks can keep up with. This is the room where Portland's marketers, founders, and builders talk about what's actually working right now—where growth strategy meets the tools reshaping it.
No panels. No presentations. Just an open room of people obsessed with growth, talking shop, sharing what's working, and building the kind of connections that move ideas and businesses forward.
Join us on the third Wednesday of every month, from 6:00–8:00 PM, at the Rose Room on the 26th floor of Portland's iconic Big Pink building. If you'd like to keep the conversation going afterward, Portland City Grill is right upstairs.
