Greater Portland Inc’s signature event celebrates the region’s public-private partnership and brings to light our competitiveness in a global economy. Each year, the Summit convenes hundreds of regional leaders to hear best practices from around the country, learn about our region's successes and unite around a shared vision for economic prosperity.

This year our program will focus on the key role government leaders can play to spur economic growth. Our keynote speaker, Oakland Mayor Libby Schaaf, has led the city’s economic revitalization – including an extraordinary residential building boom – while cutting gun violence in half. Come ready with your questions for Mayor Schaaf, as a Q&A session will follow the mayor's keynote speech. Breakfast is included.
