OCPG Board President Kitty Martz gives TEDx talk in Portland

In this talk, board President, Kitty Martz examines the rapid rise of prediction markets and why they are outpacing public-health protections. Drawing on lived experience and behavioral science, she explains how product design, accessibility, and gamification can quietly normalize risk and harm for large numbers of people. Rather than focusing on individual behavior, the talk reframes prediction markets as a design issue, one that demands consumer protections, transparency, and accountability. https://www.tedxportland.com/salons/01-22-2026
