Inverge: the interactive convergence conference is a 2 day interdisciplinary business+culture experience in Portland, Oregon that features over a dozen digital thought-leader presenters and explores emerging integration dynamics such as the convergence of media platforms, convergence of virtual + physical, convergence of content + advertising and convergence of corporate content + consumer-generated content.

Inverge brings thought-leader presenters and attendees together from a variety of disciplines together to explore innovation and business opportunities presented by the increasing digitization of media, democratization of distribution and proliferation of connectivity into new areas. The big picture is revealed via the unique integration of disciplines at the event. The presentations are high-level, informative and conceptual, pointing the way toward the future and facilitating advanced professional development.
In order to create a unique experience for attendees, this conference starts on the same day as, and is integrated with, several other cultural events happening in Portland: the Time-Based Art Festival (performance : dance : music : new media : visual arts), MusicFestNW (over 100 indie bands), the Portland Creative Conference (exploring the creative process across multiple disciplines) and the First Thursday Gallery Walk.
Inverge also features a reception at Wieden+Kennedy after the first day of the event, allowing attendees to seamlessly move from the conference to the reception to First Thursday in the Pearl.
