SPEAKER & SPONSORS
Chelsey's favorite part of racing is exploring places that very few people get to see and gaining perspective she might never see in "normal" life. Whether racing across remote icebergs, developing innovative acro sets, or balancing a thousand feet above ground on a slackline, all while chasing her wild son Max and toddler Revel Wilder, Chelsey loves to take whatever she's into that day to the next level. When not sleep deprived in the jungle, she can be found sipping a horchata latte, climbing, or enjoying Dan's BBQ.

The Nature of Work
Embark started as a dream for Ruffwear’s Will Blount and Patrick Kruse. In 2016, they realized the company was outgrowing their current space and they’d need to expand. Entrepreneurs at heart, they envisioned an opportunity to give back to the start-up spirit in Bend, and the idea of creating a coworking space to support up-and-coming companies, expose Ruffwear team members to new ideas, and foster community was born.
Three years and a massive renovation project later, the vision has become a reality! Members of this collective are explorers who have a shared sense of stewardship for our wilderness areas, and reflect a diverse range of professions.
The doors open at 6pm and we will start at 6:30 pm!
