Portland Formula E Pre-Party and Industry Mixer

⚡ ROCSYS Autonomous Charging invites you to a loosely-named "industry" event open to anyone interested in sustainable energy and transportation.

? Inspired by Portland's winning bid to host the Formula E World Championship, we wanted to showcase the impressive-yet-underrated concentration of businesses and non-profits in Oregon working towards the electrification of vehicles, expansion of transportation options, and transformation of the grid.

☝ This is a showcase of homegrown sustainability efforts, the opportunity to test drives EVs and e-bikes, and an excuse to indulge in Crux brews. This is a casual event and open to all, including +1s. Come by to learn and share.

Schedule of Events (subject to change- check back for updates)

—3:00-4:30pm Forth is hosting test drives of various electric vehicles (EVs). Biketown will have unlocked e-bikes for test rides, as well.

—4:30pm Congregate inside the ROCSYS office / Dairy Building for drinks and a fireside chat with Climate Curious and our partners.

—5:00pm Demonstration / walk-through of PSU's formula racecar, which is designed, built, and raced by students.

—5:15-6:00pm More drinks and mingling at Crux Brewing!
