## AI overview

The author describes hosting an informal mini-workshop on homomorphic encryption in Portland, Oregon, attended by about 18 people from the local community. The event included talks, discussion, a hackathon for the HEIR compiler, and plans for a possible repeat the following year.

## Source excerpt

On Monday, July 14th 2025, I hosted a mini-workshop on homomorphic encryption at Google's Portland, Oregon office. Though Portland is a small city, it's becoming a hub for homomorphic encryption. Intel and Google both have a presence here, as well as the hardware startup Niobium, and a few individuals from other companies who happen to be based here. Since I had been having lunch with various subsets of the community, I figured it was about time to get us all in a room together.
