Saturday June 10, 2023 from 9am to 5pm, with an after-party across the street.
The conference will be held at Portland Center Stage. This is centrally located in Portland’s Pearl District in walking distance of hotels, restaurants, and Powell’s City of Books. For directions, parking, and transit details, see the PCS website. Note that street parking in the Pearl District can be hard to find. The PCS website includes directions for both a nearby parking garage and public transit. PCS occupies a historic building that used to be part of the old Portland Armory. The conversion that turned it into a theater with two stages also made it the first building on the National Registry with a Platinum-level LEED certification. Our event will be downstairs in the Ellen Bye Studio.
