Help us rename the High Tech After Hours event.

Why is the event name being changed after all these years?

The concept of innovation transcends all industry boundaries, and while “High Tech After Hours” has brand recognition, it’s association with software and IT became a stumbling block in our efforts to be more inclusive and expand the venue to showcase achievements across other industries.

What do you think the new name should be? Cast your vote. Or a different idea? Please share it with us in the discussion below.

Register for the event.

Thanks for joining the conversation Wendy. We had got some feedback that "high tech" was excluding other industries. We want to include all industries and people that value innovation.

While Blue Sky Morning is not a tech company I know that you have an interest in visual thinking and problem solving. Thats innovative and we want to celebrate that and help you share that with others. How can we help you do that with this website and the event?

Do you like the "WIN-WIN" acronym?

OK gang,

Unless I hear something different tonight, the deadline we set last week. I say we go with the WIN-WIN solution.

Willamette Innovators Night and The Willamette Innovators Network. The network made up of the partners, sponsors, exhibitors, committees, management, promoters, associated groups and attendees of WIN event.

I will start to redesign the logo and banner art and work with Loyan on a new URL/Ning site.

Thanks to those of you who contributed.
