2026 Impact Conference: Resilience Through Collaboration

Building Stronger Organizations Together

Today's workplaces are navigating constant change, evolving workforce expectations and economic uncertainty. The organizations that thrive aren't facing these challenges alone. They're learning from one another, sharing ideas and building resilience through collaboration.

Join business and community leaders from across Oregon and the Pacific Northwest for the 2026 Impact Conference, a dynamic morning of practical ideas, meaningful conversations and fresh perspectives to help strengthen your organization and prepare for what's next.

Beyond the keynote, you'll engage in interactive Power Rounds, hear a forward-looking regional economic forecast and connect with professionals across industries who are navigating many of the same opportunities and challenges. You'll leave with fresh ideas, practical takeaways and new connections you can put to work right away.
