Understandably, there may some questions about what’s in store for this year’s event. It is always our priority to continue to find new, creative and meaningful ways to safely bring together the northwest’s entrepreneurial ecosystem and to foster that near indescribable energy and connection that BVC brings. And with one COVID-era BVC under our belt, we are confident we will bring the best BVC to Central Oregon possible.
While the format and execution may look and feel a bit different this year, the impact for start-up companies remains the same. Join us as we make a difference for entrepreneurs!

We strive to comply with all gathering guidelines put forth by the CDC and the State of Oregon and individual venues. For example, as of today, the primary venue (Tower Theatre) is requiring proof of vaccine and/or a negative COVID test.
Event attendance comes with risks and an inherent risk of exposure to COVID-19 exists in any public place where people are present.
