Nature often reminds us to slow down and take it all in, Yosemite is perfect with all it's beauty. All it needs is a data center

I asked God for a man who will love me forever, He gave me two. So grateful and blessed 😇
God is Great!

Thank you @_iamdarin_ for a fairy tale 50th glam birthday party. Everything was to perfection. I feel so proud and honored to be your mother. Love the way you keep your baby brother close to you in every way. May Allah bless you with abundance of everything. ~ Mom

Tehachapi vacation 2026
Darin’s first time glider experience with Skylark North Glider School.
Tried baking some drumsticks 🍗 and that was a hit with boys. Found a cozy coffee shop. Took a stroll after the sunset to enjoy some night sounds and watch the almost full moon. 🌝

Darin goes soaring! In a glider, he was towed 2,500 ft by a single engine plane, then is released so he can glide down back to earth.

What we experienced at the Silicon Forest Tech Summit was just a glimpse of the incredible work happening right here in our own backyard.

There’s so much happening in the world right now—stress, uncertainty, a lot of noise. So it’s truly an honor to create a space that feels inspiring, energizing, and grounded in possibility.

From AI talks and live demos, to speakers from Nike, Laika, Intel, and Microsoft…
To community voices, founders, and startups building what’s next…
And @boskokante live ElectroSpit demo—how cool was that?

This is more than an event.
It’s a gathering. It’s a signal.

Think of it like an all-hands meeting for the tech ecosystem.
Or even a family reunion.

Every year, we’ve leveled up—and you can feel that evolution.
And this next year? It matters.

This is a build year.
How do we embrace AI?
How do we move forward—intentionally, together?

Silicon Forest Tech Summit 2026 showed what’s possible when we bring together different sectors, different generations, and different perspectives into one room.

And we’re just getting started.

We’re launching our AI Builder Series—currently in pilot—and we’ll be sharing more soon.

Cohort #5 of our Tech training begins

We brought together Juan Muro, Jr, Executive Director of Free Geek, and Hector Dominguez, Open Data & Privacy Coordinator, City of Portland for a candid exchange on tech, the future, and agility in a time of change.

In this snippet, they share who they are, how they think, and how they fit into Portland’s evolving tech community.

Different Backgrounds.
Shared responsibility to build what’s next.

At STEAM Circuit and the Silicon Forest Tech Summit, we create space for cross-sector conversations that move our ecosystem forward. This is what ecosystem building looks like.

Thank you to our partner and sponsor Shifting Realities™ and Kelly Max for helping bring this series to life.

Shifting Realities™ immersive experience coming June 2026.
