b8ta x Macy's Presents: Visionary Panel
Get ready for b8ta Portland's next Founders Series, Visionaries Panel: The present is female. We are partnering with our local Macy’s to host both a fashion show and panel. In honor of International Women's Month, the fashion show will showcase looks that will empower women to feel their best. In addition, as part of our Visionaries Panel, we will be hosting female leaders who are making waves in their respective industries. Stop into Macy’s Washington Square for a discussion on how modern day challenges are being solved by modern day women with cutting-edge ideas. Not in the future—right now.
