Part modern-day supper club.
Part social club.
Part walking club.
Part business community.
Part local give-back movement.
Definitely not your dad’s networking group.
We’re all out there building something. We just don’t have to build it alone.
01
THIS ISN’T NETWORKING
No awkward lap around the room.
No stack of business cards you’re never going to look at again.
No pretending we’re there to “connect” when everyone is really there to pitch something.
Hello Culture PDX is built for real relationships between women who are building businesses, careers and big ideas in Portland.
We get together. We learn from each other. We share what worked — and what absolutely did not. We collaborate. We refer business. We give back. We have long dinners and really good conversations.
And somewhere along the way, new business relationships start feeling a lot more like old friendships.
02
WE’RE BUILDING BUSINESSES + COMMUNITY
Connect
Meet women you actually want to know — in business and outside of it.
Long Slow Dinners.
Coffee + Cowork.
Walk + Talk Wednesdays.
Mahjong Nights.
Content Creation Days.
Classes.
Collaborations.
And plenty of reasons to get together just because we can.
Grow
Learn from women who are doing the work.
Throughout the year we’ll bring in experts and members to teach what they know about social media, finance, investing, AI, marketing, sales, design, health + wellness, leadership, personal finance and the dozens of things we’re all figuring out while building something.
No pretending anyone has it all figured out.
Bring what you know. Learn what you don’t.
Collaborate
The woman sitting across the table might become a client.
Or a referral partner.
Or the person you call when you’re stuck.
Or one of your closest friends.
We believe collaboration beats competition every single time.
Give
We don’t just work here. We live here.
Hello Culture PDX puts the strength of this community behind a local nonprofit — raising money, giving our time and using our businesses and relationships to make a meaningful difference in the community we call home.
We don’t just live and work in Portland. We invest in it.
Have some fun
Because not every gathering needs an agenda.
Sometimes we’re walking a neighborhood.
Sometimes we’re playing Mahjong.
Sometimes dinner runs long.
Sometimes someone suggests coffee and nobody is in a hurry to leave.
Business matters.
So does having people you actually enjoy doing it with.
03
MEMBERSHIP IS $100/MONTH
And membership is about a lot more than getting invited to an event.
You’ll have access to the Portland Hello Culture PDX community and the larger Hello Culture network of chapters across the country.
You’re not buying admission to events.
You’re getting access to the room.
Your membership includes:
Six professional Content Creation Days each year — photography, B-roll and fresh content for your business.
Coffee + Cowork.
Walk + Talk Wednesdays.
Monthly Mahjong Nights.
Business education throughout the year.
Connection to the national Hello Culture network.
Member perks and discounts from local partners.
Community service and fundraising opportunities.
First access and preferred member pricing on ticketed experiences, including Long Slow Dinners and select special events.
And most importantly?
A room you can keep coming back to.
Because real relationships aren’t built at one networking event.
They’re built by showing up.

COME FOR THE BUSINESS, STAY FOR THE PEOPLE
We’re looking for women who want to participate, not just be on another email list.

OUR LONG SLOW DINNERS
Phones down.
Dinner takes as long as it takes.
Our Long Slow Dinners bring Portland women together around one table for really good food, thoughtful conversation and the kind of connection that doesn’t happen while everyone is trying to work the room.
These are separately ticketed experiences, with first access and preferred pricing for members.
Our first Portland Long Slow Dinner is coming this October.
See the next dinner
06
PORTLAND BUSINESSES: THERE’S A SEAT FOR YOU, TOO
Hello Culture PDX partners with businesses that believe in women, entrepreneurship and the community we all call home.
This isn’t about putting your logo on a banner.
It’s about becoming part of the community.
Our Annual Community Partners show up throughout the year — building familiarity, relationships and trust with the women in this room.
Not a logo on a banner — a seat, a conversation, and a year of being the person they already know.
Become a community partner
