Cascadia Builders Club (Sept Demo night)

Bring what you're building Cascadia Builders Club is a Pacific Northwest community for people building hardware and software. This is show-and-tell for builders: In this meetup, a handful of local builders take the floor for short, hands-on demos of what they're actually making (startups, apps, hardware, side projects, tools), and then we hang out and meet the people behind the work. No pitch, no hype reels, just real things and the people making them. Come see what's being built around the north bank of the Columbia, ask questions, and find your people. Want to demo? We're looking for builders to show what they're working on, hardware or software, shipped or half-built. Demos run about 10-15 minutes.
