The following description was submitted by the event organizer.

Romancing Portland is an enchanting weekend getaway for lovers of romance novels and pop culture. At Romancing, fans are cordially invited to meet their favorite authors and bookish personalities, attend thought-provoking panels, experience fun and captivating activities, and shop all things romance—all while mixing and mingling with fellow romance lovers.

The venue, the Sentinel hotel, is more than just a venue—it’s a main character. Believing the venue should be the beating heart of the event, it has carefully selected one with a long, fascinating history. If the walls of the Sentinel could talk, they would never be in short supply of romantic tales.

The other main character of Romancing Portland is, of course, you. Hoping that every moment you spend is like something straight out of a rom-com. And while you may not experience that heart-stopping meet-cute you dream of, you’re sure to leave Romancing Portland with plenty of new book boy/girlfriends.
