You are invited to join the Portland Business Alliance and business association partners from around the state in a presentation of the Oregon, Greater Portland, Bend and Eugene’s Athletic, Outdoor, Team and Recreation economy ecosystem.

Hosted at Providence Park, this year’s annual meeting will offer participants a unique look into the State of the Economy with a state-wide analysis on the profound impacts offered by the Greater Portland, Bend and Eugene’s Athletic, Outdoor, Team and Recreation industries.

As a hub for sporting goods and apparel design, as well as a national destination for outdoor recreation, the State of Oregon’s Athletic, Outdoor, Team and Recreation ecosystem is unparalleled in the U.S. and across the globe. And this July, Oregon is playing host to the 2022 World Athletics Championships, offering a global glimpse into the state’s unique environment for sports innovation and growth.

Following HR&A’s presentation, a special panel of experts will dive deep into the report’s findings and offer their opinions on how Oregon can continue to be a global leader in the Athletic, Outdoor, Team and Recreation economic ecosystem.
