Chair, President & CEO
Columbia Sportswear





REGISTRATION IS NOW CLOSED.

Columbia Sportswear is a public company that is run by the family that founded it 81 years ago.

With Tim Boyle at the helm, Columbia has navigated many rough seas, eventually establishing itself as a family of brands with more than $3 billion in annual sales and a global leader in outdoor apparel, footwear and lifestyle products. Columbia has a presence in over 90 countries and around 40 percent of revenue is generated abroad, a tremendous modern-day global success.

However, the current global pandemic has deeply challenged contemporary business planning; forcing leaders to re-set their thinking in all areas of operations. From supply chain to overseas investment and manufacturing, employee work-from-home procedures to customer behaviors and online retail operations, the world is changing. And Columbia aims to keep pace.

Join us for 45 minutes with one of Oregon’s most influential businessmen with a presentation followed by Q&A session.

After the presentation, stay around to network in our Zoom Breakout Rooms. Meet other attendees, chat, and bring your own beverage!

The full event runs from 3-4:30pm on Wednesday July 1 US Pacific Time (from 5pm Central, 6pm East Coast), which is 7-8:30am Thursday July 2, Japan Time. The networking session is optional.
