Which hotel is walking distance to the conference for someone flying in without car??

  Here’s our Lodging page, listing a few hotels within walking distance. Others are easily accessible by public transit, which is cheap and easy! No need for a car in Portland.

Any chance you’ll be offering exhibit only day passes? I’m not able to attend all three days, but would love to check out the exhibitors while I’m in town on Saturday.

  Hi Julie, This is definitely something we’ve talked about doing and want to make happen one day, but since the conference looks like it will be selling out soon, we have maximum capacity issues to make sure we keep under – stay tuned for the future & wish you could join us for the full weekend!
  Do consider grabbing a ticket to the Gala that evening when they go on sale : )
