2026 Summit keynote • Kedma Ough
Entrepreneur. Innovation Champion. 25-Year Oregonian
Kedma Ough is a fifth-generation entrepreneur and one of the Northwest’s leading voices on innovation and economic development. She’s spent her career helping underdogs — founders, side-hustlers, first-in-family business owners — find the funding and the nerve to build something real.
