Access and arrival
8 km (5 mi) to Portland International Airport (PDX). At that distance the transfer is not a planning problem, which is rarer than it sounds.
A central address is worth more than it looks: no shuttle, no parking plan, and evening sessions that people actually stay for.
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.
The kind of event it takes
Anything at this scale is a one-room event. It is the 3rd largest arena or stadium mapped in Portland, and like all of them it solves the plenary and none of the rest of the programme.
- award ceremonies
A stage, a bowl of seats and a control room already in place.
- festivals
An audience of 12,888 is festival scale, not conference scale.
- company all-hands
One room, everybody in it, nobody watching on a screen in an overflow space.
