PDX Bridge Festival’s Speaker Series bridges the geography and culture of Portland by engaging the public in a dialogue about the infrastructure of our city and communities.

The 2010 PDX Bridge Festival Speaker Series engages the public in discussion about art, urban planning, architecture, and history as it relates to connecting the communities of our city. In the spirit of intellectual curiousity, the series provides an opportunity to celebrate the contributions of those sharing their artistic vision for the benefit of our region. By exploring the stories of the people who make Portland such a unique destination we hope to inspire involvement and creativity. We invite you to join us.
