“Business West Expo was one of the best expos I've been to. You can feel the energy on the expo floor. It was clearly an extension of the strong community that BESThq has been cultivating on the Greater West side of Portland. I was able to make new friendships and connections for business collaboration. Can't wait for next year!" – Timothy DeWolf, Get- Benefits
