The Portland chapter of the PNW Battery Collaborative holds its fall happy hour at White Owl Social Club. Come and go as you please -- the point is to catch up with people already working in batteries and energy storage and to meet a few new ones. The Pacific Northwest Battery Collaborative is a volunteer-run 501(c)(3) nonprofit with a single stated mission: make the Pacific Northwest the leading hub of battery innovation in the country. It connects the entrepreneurs, researchers, policymakers, and enthusiasts driving energy storage forward across Washington, Oregon, and British Columbia, and is the largest battery-focused community organization in the region with more than 1,600 participants. 1305 SE 8th Ave, Portland, Oregon.
