Events are just part of what we do here at the Chamber, but they are a big part. These events range from 12 people seminars to 300 person networking events to our 1,000-person annual event, meaning there is something for everyone. Interested in staying up to date with our events?
Eggs & Issues
Eggs & Issues is the Portland Community Chamber of Commerce’s monthly business forum where our Eggs & Issues community gathers to discuss business issues of the day.
Since its inception more than 30 years ago, Eggs & Issues has grown to become the largest breakfast networking and speaker series in Northern New England.

Kegs & Issues
In 2017, we gave Eggs & Issues a Happy Hour counterpart. But more than just an afternoon edition of our popular Eggs & Issues, Kegs & Issues serves to highlight different voices in our community, locally-crafted beverages, and shorter presentations focused on innovation and Maine's startup culture. Kegs & Issues is held quarterly at Aura.
Imagine Portland
Our annual event and awards show, Imagine Portland, has grown since its 2017 inception. With more than 700 attendees each year, it has become the Chamber's largest event. Each year we recognize people and organizations that have made the Portland Region work. This is Portland's largest networking opportunity, and one of the more unique events in the state.
In 2019, the Chamber reached new heights with its first 1,000-person event, when Imagine Portland smashed records.
Held each January at rotating venues.

Business After 5
Business After 5 events are held by our local Community Chambers from 5 to 7 p.m.. These events give attendees the opportunity to network in the different communities that make up the Portland Regional Chamber. Each event features networking, and an insight into the host's business.
Women of the Chamber
Started as a word-of-mouth after hours get-together, Women of the Chamber has grown to include three unique events: The speaker-focused "Secrets of Success"; the non-profit-oriented "Women Helping Women"; and the original that started it all, "Cocktails and Connections." Each event is held at one of the Region's landmarks and features food, drinks, and low-pressure networking opportunities.
