Future Forward

​Theme — Pivot to Possibility

​Sponsors: George Fox University , TiE Oregon

​Harness the collective energy of laid-off (and layoff-anxious) tech talent to re-frame disruption as an opportunity: reskill, reinvent, and re-enter the market with sharper focus or launch something new.

​Goal (what “success” looks like)

​Clarity: Every participant leaves with a concrete next step

​Connections: At least 100 new LinkedIn connects made on-site (≈1.5 × head-count).
