2026 Oregon Entrepreneurship Awards

The Oregon Entrepreneurs Network's 35th anniversary Oregon Entrepreneurship Awards, presented with Columbia Bank, honors founders and the startup ecosystem across Oregon and Southwest Washington under the theme Deep Roots. Bold Growth. The evening runs 5:00 to 10:00 PM at the Sentinel Hotel in downtown Portland and includes a welcome reception, the awards ceremony recognizing winners across multiple categories, and an after party. Food is heavy hors d'oeuvres and desserts rather than a formal sit-down dinner, with alcoholic and non-alcoholic drinks. Dr. Jackie Wirz emcees. Tickets are $125 for OEN members and $150 for non-members, with a Party Pack ($1,500) and Community Builder ($2,000) option that each include eight tickets. Nominations closed in July; registration remains open through O https://www.oen.org/2026-oregon-entrepreneurship-awards/
