A weeklong series of events designed to bring Oregon’s consumer product ecosystem together for conversation and community building.
Now in its third year, Built Festival 2019 will feature a series of free consumer product industry events during the week (details and more to come over the next couple of weeks) and then a full day ticketed Main Event on Friday, October 11, 2019, at The Redd, where we bring together founders and industry leaders for a series of fireside conversations.

Inspiration to push through when it feels like 3 steps forward, 2 steps back
Hear from founders who have successfully grown local consumer products businesses into global brands — and the long and arduous path it took to do so.
Connected to community

Doing the right thing

The Bridges Vendor Fair is a showcase of companies associated with the Bridges program — a collaboration among Built Oregon, Hacienda CDC, Soul District, APANO, and NAYA to ensure that products from people of color get on to retail shelves — along with other unique and up-and-coming brands. Attendees can meet the founders, talk to them about their products, and most importantly, support them.
