In May I will be speaking at a conference in Portland, Oregon called WebVisions which is to be held at the Oregon Convention Center. The convention center has a total of 255,000 square feet of exhibit space, and 50 meeting rooms with all the amenities. In fact it even has its own wine tasting facility called Appellation Oregon.
The Oregon Convention Center is operated and managed by Metropolitan Exposition Recreation Center, which also manages the Portland Center for the Performing Arts, and the Portland Metropolitan Exposition Center. In reading their latest report on file on their site, apparently the Oregon Convention Center is planning to create a 600 room hotel to help bring in visitors to the hotel. A decision it seems that is slated to take place this spring. I can’t wait to see the facility and perhaps get to talk with some of the staff.
To book an event at the Oregon Convention Center you can contact Matt Pizzuti, Director of Sales and Marketing.
