It's officially a tradition: the epic PUGS learning party is back for its sophomore year!
PUGSfest is a full-day of taster workshops from some of Portland's most brilliant minds. This year's theme is: SPACE/SPACES:
"Spaces in between, spaces outside. Spaces of resistance. Spaces delineated. Spaces undefined. Outer space. We fight for it and we destroy it. Space's pervasiveness and invisibility make it ripe for investigation."
#PUGSfest 2017: SPACE/SPACES
APRIL 22ND, 2017 || Taborspace
Intellectually curious? Socially adventurous? Topically indecisive?
“Combinatory play seems to be the essential feature in productive thought.” - Albert Einstein
PUGSfest is our second annual Festival of Ideas. Here's how it works. 12 presenters will compete for your attention. In the morning, each will get 3 minutes to pitch their idea about SPACE/SPACES. Then you decide which sessions you want to go to!
When: Saturday, April 22
9:00 am - 4:30 pm
Where: Taborspace
5441 SE Belmont St.
How much: $49 (after 4/17 late reg = $59)
How does PUGSfest work?
On April 22, a dozen speakers pitch their ideas -- 3 minutes each -- and you (as a participant) choose 4 one-hour sessions that you want to attend throughout the day.
