​We’re starting 2026 the Portland way by bringing the people who build our city’s communities together.
​Join AI Portland, along with organizers from creative, tech, and professional groups across the city, for an evening of connection and collaboration. We’ll share what’s ahead for our communities, compare notes, and look for ways to support each other in the year to come.
​Whether you host a meetup, run a Slack group, or plan events, you’re invited. This is a space to talk about what’s working, where the gaps are, and how we can make 2026 a stronger, more connected year for everyone building in Portland.
Who is this for?
- People who run tech, AI, design, or creative meetups
- Organizers of professional or industry-focused communities
- Managers of coworking spaces or event programs
- Anyone helping keep a Portland-based community connected and running
​What to Expect:
- ​Short intros from each participating group
- ​Open discussion around shared challenges and opportunities
- ​Time to mingle, swap ideas, and build new connections
​We’re calling it Better Together because that’s exactly what Portland’s creative and tech ecosystem is at its best - collaborative, generous, and community-driven.
