Bend Emerging Talent (formerly Bend Young Professionals) facilitates and inspires personal and professional development and networking, with a focus on community. You’ll get to know other career-oriented professionals who are committed to investing in their—and our community’s—future.
We’re guided by an Ambassador and Advisory Council (AAC) who advise, promote and ensure the relevance and success of our programs.
Let AI Introduce You to the Bend ET Program!
We were inspired by our Expert Lab and Summit sessions with Justin Coats of NeeshAI to test out some AI tools. This podcast was created by NotebookLM by Google.
