You’ve seen supply chain costs on a spreadsheet. Now see what they look like in motion.

Join FEI Portland for a behind-the-scenes tour of Amazon Fulfillment Center PDX8. It’s a rare chance to see large-scale logistics up close and connect with fellow finance professionals somewhere well outside the usual conference room.

Thursday, November 5 | 5:00–8:00 PM
Amazon Fulfillment Center PDX8, Woodburn, OR

Good to know:
→ Registration closes Monday, November 2. A final guest list goes to Amazon, so there are no walk-ins.
→ Closed-toe shoes are required (no heels), and long hair should be tied back.
→ No photos during the tour, but there will be designated photo spots in branded areas.

Spots are limited. Reserve yours, or join the waitlist if it’s full: https://bit.ly/4z5Bt0o

PARTNER EVENT: A worthwhile morning for Portland's finance and business leaders, and one we're glad to help share!

Our friends at Xenium HR, along with Columbia Bank, are hosting the 2026 Leadership & Economic Summit, and it's a great fit for the FEI Portland community.

Thursday, November 12 | 8:00–10:30 AM
Sentinel Hotel, 614 SW 11th Ave, Portland

Now in its 15th year, the Summit is where Portland's business community gets ahead of the year to come. Two reasons this one stands out:

→ The Economy, Decoded: Economist John Mitchell connects interest rates, labor, trade, and policy to what they actually mean for your business heading into 2027. After 15 years headlining the event, this will be his final Summit keynote!

→ Practical AI in Business: An executive panel that cuts through the hype to focus on what's actually working inside everyday businesses: where AI really fits, what to automate (and what not to), leading through the culture shift, and staying ahead of security and fraud risks.

You'll walk away with a clear economic outlook for 2027 planning, real-world approaches to putting AI to work, and new connections across the Portland business community, all over a full networking breakfast.

Seats are complimentary, and panelists will be announced in the coming weeks. Reserve your spot now so you don't miss the lineup, or the event: https://bit.ly/47Cgned

What gets built, and what stalls, signals where the economy is headed before other indicators catch up.

Construction is one of the clearest reads on a regional economy. Credit conditions, labor supply, land use policy, business confidence... they all show up there first.

On Thursday, October 15, FEI uses the Portland metro market as that lens: Concrete Numbers: The State of Portland Construction.

The panel will cover:
→ Which sectors are breaking ground, and which have pulled back
→ How construction costs and financing terms have shifted
→ What permitting timelines mean for project economics
→ How labor availability is shaping schedules and pricing

It's built for finance leaders in every industry, whether you're renewing a lease, planning an expansion, or sizing a capital budget, the same signals apply.

Moderator: Taylor Schmitz - CFO, Joseph Hughes Construction

Keynote Panel:
Dan Grierson - CFO, Hoffman Construction
Korede Alabi - CFO, Andersen Construction
Kraig O'Connor - President & CEO, R&H Construction

Plus a PD session: "Beyond the Balance Sheet: Tax, Transition & Retirement Plan Governance", and networking. Eligible for 2 CPE credits.
