taoWAAC — Women & Allies Community
The Audience

The room your brand wants to be standing in.

WAAC convenes senior technologists, founders, and the executives backing them — a curated audience you cannot buy through ads.

Audience members gathered around tables in a bright rooftop venue overlooking Portland.
Who attends

Fellows. Founders. Chief architects. The technologists other technologists listen to — in one room, for one night.

Every guest is curated. There is no general admission, no badge-scan fly-by — just the people who actually shape Oregon's technology economy.
