About this Event
The Nova Global | Portland Chapter Soft Launch
A new kind of women’s leadership community is coming to Portland.
The Nova is expanding—and Portland is next.
If you’re an ambitious, soul-driven woman craving more than just another networking group, this gathering is for you. Nova isn’t about collecting business cards—it’s about cultivating deep, meaningful connections, growing alongside like-minded women, and creating spaces where we rise together.
This soft launch is your opportunity to experience The Nova firsthand, meet powerhouse women, and help shape the future of our Portland chapter.

What Makes The Nova Different?
We don’t do transactional networking.
We create intentional spaces where women connect deeply, support generously, and amplify one another’s magic.
We go beyond surface-level small talk.
Through guided conversation and curated gatherings, we foster relationships that fuel real growth—personally and professionally.
We lead with authenticity.
You don’t have to prove yourself or fit a mold. Here, you get to show up fully—and be seen as you are.
What to Expect
Curated Connection
Thoughtful networking that sparks inspiration and belonging—no awkward small talk here.
Collective Empowerment Breakout
A guided conversation exploring what it means to rise together.
We’ll reflect on the power of community, inclusive leadership, and building success through connection—not competition.
Visioning for Portland
Be part of shaping what this chapter becomes—from the vibe to the vision.
Optional Post-Event Dinner
Continue the connection over an informal dinner (details shared at the event).
Why Portland? Why Now?
With thriving communities in the Bay Area, Boulder, Denver, New England, and Phoenix—and NYC and DMV chapters launching soon—Portland is the next key hub for in-person gatherings that blend strategic growth with soulful connection.
Through our partnership with Kiln, Portland members will gain access to:
- Co-working days in a beautiful, inspiring space
- Community-driven events designed for depth and connection
- Thought leadership opportunities like member-led lunch-and-learns
