At the Port of Portland, we’re committed to making it easier for people in our region to equitably access quality jobs and grow their business. Join us for a day of workshops and information sessions designed to help local small business owners, entrepreneurs and craftworkers—particularly those from diverse and underrepresented communities—learn about the many ways to work with the Port (because some may surprise you!).

For small business owners in construction and trades, consultants, artisans, and service providers, we’ll share upcoming opportunities to do business with our airports, marine terminals and business parks, and guidance for proposing and bidding on our contracting opportunities. We’ll have members of our team available to offer guidance and answer questions so your business can benefit from the work we do.
