Plan on Portland
TOP 5 REASONS TO PLAN ON PORTLAND #1 NO SALES TAX With 0% sales tax, Portland lets you stretch your budget while attendees indulge. That means no sales tax on food and beverage to vendors and venues. Plus, it's automatic--no application needed! #2 SPACIOUS, BEAUTIFUL (AND SUSTAINABLE) CONVENTION CENTER The Oregon Convention Center (OCC) is LEED Platinum, which makes any event held there automatically sustainable. It even boasts 6,500+ solar panels -- one of the largest solar power arrays on a U.S. convention center. Renovated in late 2019, the OCC offers 478K+ total square feet of event space, which includes 255K square feet of contiguous exhibit space, 52 meeting rooms, two ballrooms, suites, lobbies and pre-function areas. #3 HAPPY PLANNER, HAPPY ATTENDEES (AND LOTS OF THEM) You’re already a hero; meeting in Portland will catapult you to super status. The city’s welcoming culture and famous food scene delights delegates, and Travel Portland’s here-when-you-need-us service keeps planners smiling. Travel Portland earned the Meetings & Convention Gold Service Award 17 years in a row. #4 HOTEL PACKAGE THAT KEEPS GETTING BETTER With an enviable collection of boutique and brand name hotels, Portland’s hotel package is experiencing a growth spurt. Our 10,000+ central-city rooms include the 600-room Hyatt Regency headquarter hotel, brand new in December 2019. The luxury Ritz-Carlton Portland is scheduled to open in summer 2023. #5 EASY TO GET AROUND Portland has one of the nation’s best airports, consistently voted #1 by the readers of Travel and Leisure. Getting around gets even better when you experience our convenient, easy-to-navigate transit system that includes frequent light rail and streetcar service. Walking? Our pedestrian-friendly and compact downtown sports a walkability score of 96 out of 100.
