Donut.js is a monthly meet-up in Portland, OR with a handful of wonderful talks on tech, creativity, community, and the places they come together.

The next Donut.js is on Tuesday, September 25th at 6pm at Alchemy Code Lab at 30 NW 10th Ave (right across from Powell’s—see a map).

Tickets are $10 or free and include donuts and refreshments!

Every month, our proceeds go to a local non-profit. This month we are raising money for Cascade AIDS Project & Prism Health, whose mission is to “support and empower all people with or affected by HIV, reduce stigma, and provide the LGBTQ+ community with compassionate healthcare.”
