Portside Real Estate Group’s 2026 Portside Summit will be centered around the theme, “Your brand. Your power. Your impact.”
The summit, for real estate agents, media and business professionals, is scheduled for Thursday, Jan. 15, 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. at the Holiday Inn by the Bay in Portland.
The goal is to help agents build strong personal brands, grow sustainable businesses and create impact in their communities.
Headlining the event is Christine George, founder of Post & Beam Creative, who will deliver the keynote session, “Be the brand they can’t ignore.” Her presentation will explore how agents can clarify their message, strengthen their presence and build a brand that supports long-term success. She will also lead an afternoon breakout session, offering agents the opportunity for more direct learning and hands-on insight on marketing and brand strategy.
The summit will close with a session titled “Grit & growth: An entrepreneur’s mindset,” with Ryan Eldridge of Maine Cabin Masters. Drawing from his experience growing a community-rooted business into a nationally recognized brand, Eldridge will share insights on adaptability, resilience and what it takes to build a business with purpose.
In addition, there will be agent-led panels and discussions designed to help attendees apply new ideas, share perspectives and connect with peers from Maine and New Hampshire.
Portside, headquartered in Falmouth, has over 200 agents across Maine and New Hampshire, specializing in residential, new construction and multifamily properties.
