Prosper Portland and the Central Eastside Industrial Council (CEIC) would like to invite you to participate in the upcoming CES Supply Chain & Innovation Enhancement Opportunities Conference. Our unique program format has been very effective at helping businesses 1) identify new suppliers,2) identify new customers, 3) develop new strategic partnerships, 4) build on innovative ideas, and 5) stimulate new innovative ideas. Among the most beneficial results participants can expect is meeting 15-20 new people, some of whom can help your business grow or help bring your ideas to fruition.

We conduct four 20-minute facilitated roundtables with eight businesses at each table. Each manufacturer briefly introduces their company and product, followed by a facilitated discussion focused exclusively on products, parts, business intelligence, strategy and innovation. Each participant then transfers to another table and begins the process once again with a new group of business representatives. These roundtables are interspersed throughout the afternoon with brief overviews of topical information. Our program will also include segments that will get everyone thinking about innovation.

Complimentary pizza, salad and beverages served at the end of the program.
