In a pair of meetings Monday, Martha Coakley , Michael Capuano , Stephen Pagliuca and Alan Khazei will discuss their political differences.

The first was a morning forum sponsored by the Greater Boston Chamber of Commerce . It will focus on economic development and competitiveness issues.

The candidates have participated before in group forums, but always speaking one-after-the-other.

Kennedy died Aug. 25 of brain cancer.
