Portland is home to some of the most brilliant and creative mission-driven independent consultants and boutique communications shops in the country. However, many of us work from home, lead small but mighty teams, or are simply too busy to connect with others in our field. This means we often don’t get the chance to slow down, collaborate on messaging, brainstorm ideas, or just talk shop. We aim to change that with "Comms Shops Talk Shop."

This quarterly online Zoom event is a space for communications professionals to come together and:

  • Compare notes on the latest trends and challenges

  • Learn about emerging issues and messaging strategies

  • Share referrals and build connections

  • Celebrate wins and reflect on achievements

  • Support each other through shared challenges

Who this is for.

Independent communications consultants, Founders, and CEOs leading their own boutique comms shops.

If you’re running your own communications business or consultancy, this is your opportunity to join a community of like-minded professionals.

Join us.

We want this space to reflect your needs and ideas. At the end of each meeting, we’ll dedicate time to discuss how we can collectively work for good causes and strengthen our community of consultants.
