Getting there
9 km (5.6 mi) separates Darcelle XV Showplace from Portland International Airport (PDX) — normal for a city venue, and worth a line in the joining instructions rather than a shuttle contract.
Being 0.3 km (0.2 mi) from the middle of Portland means attendees can walk from their hotel, which removes the single most complained-about line in most event budgets.
The published number for the venue is +1-503-222-5338.
Portland has 109 venues mapped in total and a population of 635,749. The Portland guide covers the airport, the local time zone and what else is bookable nearby.
Formats this suits
The seats do not move, which is the whole trade. You get sightlines, acoustics and a lighting rig you would otherwise have to rent, and you give up the ability to put tables in the room. Darcelle XV Showplace is 5th of 13 such houses mapped in Portland.
- award ceremonies
Fixed seating, sightlines and a lighting rig are the hard parts, and they are already here.
- product launches
A single-track room with a real stage is the right shape for a launch.
- multi-track conferences
Works as a plenary house with breakouts booked elsewhere in the city.
