RAE Loft is a stunning second-floor event space with gleaming hardwood floors, a full bar, cozy snacks, and an intimate vibe, making it perfect for a night out. It's ADA accessible, centrally located, and free street parking makes it easy to get there.

Because clean energy professionals deserve to have fun too, WRISE Portland is a community of women — and allies — across energy, engineering, environmental science, law, and more who believe that building a sustainable future is better when we do it together. And sometimes "together" looks like learning to salsa.

Whether you're a longtime WRISE member or just WRISE-curious, you are welcome here. Come meet your people, make new connections, and move your body to some incredible beats. If you leave the night wanting more, we'd love for you to explore membership at wrisenergy.org.

All skill levels welcome. All are encouraged to join us!

Want to spot your fellow WRISE women on the dance floor? We're encouraging everyone to wear something green — a shirt, a scarf, a hair accessory, whatever feels like you! It's not required, just a fun way to find your people in the crowd.
