PIE (Portland Incubator Experiment)

dMob dLux: design + tech = <3

dMob is gettin’ dLux! This month we have an extraordinary installment of dMob for you and we are bringing together not only the design community but also the tech community. Our friends at PIE are graciously opening up their space to a fantastic night of mingling and creative activities (not to mention complimentary hors d’oeuvres, beer, and wine).

So bring your fellow designers, techie neighbors, and witty repartee. Maybe we’re not so different after all?

The dMob Concept
This is our monthly gathering for the entire Portland design community. Social interaction and networking is the core of this monthly event. AIGA Portland wants to encourage discussion, business development, and help foster a more dynamic design community here in Portland. Plus, with such a plethora of independent breweries, our choice of venues and beverages is expansive.

Fees
Free and open to the public. That’s right, no charge! For one, you’ll have a great time. And even better, it’s an amazing opportunity to network and meet fellow designers.

How It Works
It’s simple. When you arrive, you’ll get a sticker to wear. Venture forth, find another sticker-wearer and offer them a drink. That’s the trick: you can’t just drink your own, that just wouldn’t be social. It’s a great way to break the ice.

dMob February

Roses are red,
Violets are violet, not freakin’ blue
dMob is at O’Brien’s
Meet fellow creatives, drinks are on you

AIGA Portland’s February dMob is guaranteed to not have any candy hearts with messages, teddy bears with red bows or chocolates laying in velvet. Just bring you, your love for the design community, and never forget the dMob mantra… “Can I buy you a drink?”

Career Tools Breakfast Series: Transitioning from Print to Web

In an unfortunate turn of events (or ‘event’ to be exact), technology failed us at the January 19th Career Tools – “Transitioning from Print to Web.” Our sincerest apologies and gratitude to all in attendance (including guest speaker, Jason Duerr) for being such good sports.

Previous attendees who indicated they wanted to attend the rescheduled event have been contacted and space reserved for those who have RSVP’d (if you qualify and have not been contacted, please email programming@portland.aiga.org).

Rontoms


dMob January

Murky, dark and atmospheric. The glow from a fire sulks in sunken concrete. Big wooden beams hold the weight above. And something looks like a giant propeller. Music collides with conversation. There are a lot of couches. Good things on the menu. Grilled cheese and tomato soup. Tasty bread and brie fondue. Beer, wine, and spirits. And no sign outside. We meet at Rontoms this month. 6th and East Burnside.

Make new creative friends and never forget the dMob mantra… “Can I buy you a drink?”

Low Brow Lounge


dMob November

With the weather outside getting ever so cold and rainy, it’s a good time to retreat inside someplace warm and dry. Better yet, a warm, dry place full of beer, mini corn dogs, and tater tots. For November’s dMob we’ll convene for libations in the oh-so hip and dimly lit comfort of the Low Brow Lounge. Join us in the back room. Glow sticks and business cards optional. Attitude a must. $10 minimum on this boutique dive’s credit card machine (ATM on site).
