Social

Friday, 8AM-7PM

A tradition started in our first year, XOXO Social is a day of meetups, parties, and special events around town — a chance to make new friends while exploring Portland.

XOXO Slack Meetups

The physical manifestation of the XOXO Slack, with dozens of channels self-organizing together in real-life. No registration required — join anything that sounds interesting! View as a grid, courtesy of Annika Backstrom.
