We were absolutely smitten with Portland. The Oregon Convention Center is lovely, especially with all the natural light, beautiful artwork, and wide-open spaces. The food is outstanding and may be the best I’ve ever had in more than 30 years of attending conferences. I hope to come back someday and will enthusiastically recommend Portland.
