The conference venue is located at the southern end of downtown Portland where there are many more lodging options, all accessible by a quick internet search.

Travel

The conference venue is located in downtown Portland, about a 25 minute drive from the Portland International Airport (airport code PDX). From the airport, a light rail transit line, called the MAX Red line, will get you to downtown for USD 2.50.  During the workshop dates, there is likely to be track construction that prevents the MAX Red line train from reaching the airport, in which case there will a shuttle bus to the next available train stop from the airport. Taxis from airport to downtown costs between  USD 40-50. Uber and Lyft also provide pick ups from the airport. Real time public transit information on light rail lines, a separate streetcar system, and various bus lines is available at Trimet. This information is also tracked by apps like Google Maps in real time.

Regional participants can also travel by long-distance trains directly into the downtown Portland Amtrak Union Station (located at 800 NW Sixth Ave) or by long-distance bus companies, like BoltBus, FlixBus, and Greyhound.
