The Portland Ten

The Portland Ten is the most powerful networking event for social changemakers you’ll attend this year.

Each quarter, we convene 10 of our community’s top social changemakers for dinner, drinks and thoughtful dialogue. Attendees forge powerful new alliances as they engage in intimate conversations and share stories with other local changemakers. We strive to make each event a meaningful and personal experience for every guest.

Meet Some of Our Past Attendees

Portland Ten alumni tell us that participating in these dinners has not only inspired them to launch new partnerships and grow their businesses, but has also directly helped them find better roles and bolster their own financial bottom line.

    Why we do it

    We are committed to using our superpowers for good. We designed the Portland Ten to connect local changemakers so they can build lasting relationships and share creative, actionable ideas that can make our community an even better place.

    What’s the catch?

    There isn’t one! No sales pitch, no cost and no public relations people. Yes, we’ll be there, but only to listen and learn from our guests.

    Where?

    Because we like a good mystery, we don’t announce any details, including location, until 48 hours prior to the event. But know that each event takes place near the Portland city center in a location convenient for bikers, walkers and drivers.
