Oregon Computer Consultants Association - OCCA.org

Meet with other local IT Professionals, contractors, and all those with an interest in the field. Gather to network, swap tips, and make new friends.

An hour of networking over dinner, followed by a 90 minute meeting that includes "Stump the Geek" and a technology presentation by a guest or member, invariably makes this an entertaining evening.

All meetings are free for the public to attend, with no membership required. Come check it out!

The OCCA is a non-profit group, established in 1985 (yes, 1985) to provide a structure and forum for local independent computer consultants to share their knowledge, skills, and resources.
