SUMMARY:Virtual Lunch & Learn: Formation and Licensing: What Founders Need to Know
DESCRIPTION:Launching a life sciences company requires more than a breakthrough idea—it demands building the right corporate foundation from day one. In this Virtual Lunch & Learn session\, aspiring founders will gain practical\, actionable insight into two core pillars of early‑stage biotech company formation. First\, we will cover why corporate formation matters and what founders need to get right early on: choosing the appropriate corporate structure\, properly issuing founder equity\, creating and maintaining a clean cap table\, establishing a functional board of directors\, and preparing for future financing. These elements are essential for attracting investors\, protecting founder ownership\, and avoiding preventable legal and operational pitfalls.\n\nSecond\, attendees will learn what to expect when in‑licensing foundational intellectual property from a university\, academic medical center\, or research institution—the critical step that often enables company formation in life sciences. We will demystify the tech transfer process\, discuss typical economic and diligence terms\, and highlight common negotiation and operational considerations so founders understand both the opportunities and obligations that come with licensing core IP. Whether you are preparing to launch your first venture or exploring commercial pathways for your science\, this session will provide clarity\, context\, and confidence as you take the next steps on your entrepreneurial journey.\nTags: biotech\, entrepreneur\, funding\, networking\, science\, startup\nImported from: http://calagator.org/events/1250482519

SUMMARY:Co-creAIt\, an unconference about human/AI collaboration
DESCRIPTION:Co-creAIt is an unconference about Humans and Generative AI collaborating at work. The event is for brand-side digital leaders\, agencies\, consultants\, developers\, and other creative professionals. The event is presented by the Digital Strategy Exchange.\n\nAs an unconference\, there are no speakers or panelists (you’ve probably heard a lot from several AI experts already).

It’s the most interactive and collaborative event type.\n\nNOTE: Each attendee will get a box lunch at the event.\n\n\nTESTIMONIAL from Co-creAIt 2025 attendee:\n\n"Having never attended an “unconference” before\, Co-CreAIt was a breath of fresh air. It brought together a mix of AI-curious folks—technologists\, filmmakers\, and business leaders across a wide range of industries and skill levels. Everyone felt genuinely welcome. The format felt laid-back and fluid\, unlike a typically rigid event. I met some really interesting people and left inspired. It’s exciting to see a community like this starting to take shape in Portland. Looking forward to the next one!"\n\nGarett Stenson\, Founder & Head of Strategy\, db clay\, Founder\, MIXED* AI film festival\n\n\nYou’ve put in the time to learn and use some GenAI tools. Now’s the time to gather with your peers in these essential discussions about the pros & cons of humans and GenAI working together\, best practices\, etc.\n\n\nEVENT PRODUCER\n\nThis is the 2nd Co-creAIt event produced by Steve Gehlen & co-produced by Al Partridge. Steve is the past producer of Cre8con\, the Portland Creative Conference (2008-2019)\, the Cre8Camp unconference services\, Inverge: the interactive convergence conference\, the Internet Strategy Forum Summit\, and founder of the Digital Strategy Exchange\, a new professional development network for brand-side/in-house digital leaders.\n\n\nPRESENTED BY: Digital Strategy Exchange\, a new professional development network for brand-side/in-house digital leaders or individual consultants with 10+ years of brand-side experience.\n\nFor information about how to join the Digital Strategy Exchange\, visit https://digitalstrategyexchange.com\nTags: AI\, networking\, unconference\, collaboration\nImported from: http://calagator.org/events/1250482492

SUMMARY:Portland Linux/Unix Group General Monthly Meeting: Inside AI Supercomputers\, with Jesse Lopez
DESCRIPTION:Summary:\n\nInside AI Supercomputers: From GPUs to Multi-DC Clusters\n\nLarge language models and other frontier AI systems are trained on clusters with thousands to over a hundred thousand GPUs. But what does that infrastructure actually look like? This talk walks through the anatomy of an AI supercomputer from the ground up: individual GPUs\, multi-GPU nodes\, racks\, and full clusters. We’ll cover the three pillars of compute\, storage\, and networking\, then look at how training and inference workloads place very different demands on hardware. Finally\, we’ll explore how Linux runs the show at every layer from the OS on each node\, to InfiniBand fabric\nmanagement\, to job scheduling with Slurm\, Kubernetes\, and Ray.\n\nNo AI/HPC background required – just curiosity about what it takes to build and run the machines behind the models.\n\nBio:\n\nJesse Lopez is an AI/ML and Technical Program Manager in the Azure HPC/AI organization where he helps deploy large-scale AI infrastructure and works with customers to put it to use. A former scientist\, he has a background in high-performance computing\, AI/ML\, and has been a Linux user since the nineteen hundreds.\nTags: plug\, linux\, HPC\nImported from: http://calagator.org/events/1250482513

SUMMARY:Tech Talk | Code\, Content\, and Community: Life as a Developer Advocate
DESCRIPTION:Have you ever wondered what it’s really like to work as a Developer Advocate?\n\nDeveloper Advocacy sits at the intersection of technical depth\, strategic communication\, and community building.

He will share real-world lessons from working between engineering and marketing\, and explain how advocacy can scale impact through education\, open source\, and accessibility.\n\nWhether you are exploring Developer Advocacy or looking to expand your influence beyond writing code\, you will walk away with practical insights on how technical skills and communication work together.\n\nSave your spot now and join us on Friday\, March 27 at 1 PM PT | 3 PM CT | 4 PM ET to discover life as a Developer Advocate.\nTags: tech talk\, Career Coaching\, Career Networking\, job search\, Job Interview\, technology\, Tech Industry\, software engineering\, Computer Engineering\, coding\, programmers\, programming\nImported from: http://calagator.org/events/1250482514
