There're many tech events in Portland for its size. This Tuesday, I went to 2 talks about how to keep your customers engaged via social network, presented by two Simple employees at their office. Simple is an online-only banking company: an interesting concept. They seem to do very well with this business model. They were acquired by BBVA last year. This event, they've provided a lot of food this evening. Simple also lends space to other meetings, which food is not available.
