THANK YOU TECHNOLOGISTS
The first ever 3 Tree Tech Summit took place on October 29th to a sold-out group of tech executives from as local as Portland and Seattle to as far-away as Houston, Texas. Thank you to John Spiegel and everyone who participated!

Avoiding the Hillary Step
This summit will focus on automation and DevOps across your applications, your infrastructure, and your secure network. Our tech summit will be led by John Spiegel, the director of Applications and Infrastructure of Columbia Sportswear. He will unpack how his team transformed Columbia Sportswear from a silo’d, disparate technology organization to a well-oiled, automated, and DevOps centric business.
John Spiegel of Columbia Sportswear
Our 1st tech summit was led by John Spiegel, the Director of Applications and Infrastructure of Columbia Sportswear. He unpacked how his team transformed Columbia Sportswear from a silo’d, disparate technology retail organization to a well-oiled, automated, and DevOps centric business.
Spiegel has 20 years of experience in Information Technology and Networking. He’s a forward-leading, big thinker with a passion for tranformative and cutting-edge technologies, such as SD-WAN and Cloud, which is why we had to have him for this tech summit.
John is a believer in the power of sharing and collaborating with other like-minded individuals to evolve this industry. Outside of work, his focus and energy is on family, brewing beer, Oregon Ducks and Green Bay Packers football, and he just completed a trip to Kenya with his family.
