About this event

A 351 Community Heroes session brings together Portugal’s community builders for a high-energy moment of connection and visibility.

We kick off with lightning introductions to surface who’s in the room and what they’re building, followed by a focused panel on growing communities in Portugal.

The goal is simple: spark meaningful connections, share real insights, and create momentum that carries into informal networking right after.

Only those with an event ticket can attend the meetup﹗
