Portland Mayoral Candidates Hales and Smith Join Elemental to
Discuss Software, Startups and Entrepreneurialism
Elemental Technologies will host a debate
between Portland mayoral candidates Charlie Hales and Jefferson Smith on August
13th at its new offices on SW Broadway in downtown Portland. The candidates
will come together to discuss how their leadership can nurture the city’s
budding software industry and support the local entrepreneurial ecosystem. Roy Kaufmann, a well-known media professional, will moderate
the event.

growth of the software cluster in Portland, Elemental encourages active civic
dialogue between business and government leaders and supports public
engagement. To this end and to make the discussion between the cities’ mayoral
candidates available to the widest possible audience, the company will tap into

real-time via the Internet and on mobile devices. To view the event live on
