It's a quick easy trip to get to the Marriott
Downtown Waterfront Hotel, 1401 SW Naito
Parkway, from the Portland International Airport
(only 9 short miles).
"Portland's award-winning light rail system is one of the best it the country. Nicknamed ' MAX,' this 38-mile network of rails extends both east and west from downtown Portland and the Oregon Convention Center. The eastern link includes a convenient spur to Portland International Airport, while the western route can whisk passengers from downtown to the many attractions of Washington Park in just 10 minutes.
In 2001, Portland also added a brand new streetcar system. This sleek line connects downtown Portland's Cultural District to Portland State University, the art gallery-filled Pearl District and the Northwest/Nob Hill neighborhood, known for its outstanding restaurants and upscale shopping.
Best of all, Portland's mass transit – buses, light rail and streetcars – is free in a 330-square-block area known as "Fareless Square." Happily for convention attendees, this ride-free zone includes the downtown hotel core and the Oregon Convention Center.
Of course, we can also speed delegates around the city in a fleet of charter buses. Regardless of the mode of transport, however, most visitors are struck by how compact and manageable Portland is. We may be a big city, but your feet will never know it."

Business casual is appropriate for the
conference; bring walking shoes to enjoy your
leisure time. Portland's average high
temperature in July is 80 degrees, the low is
57, and rainfall is half an inch (but that
inevitably falls over the 4th of July). Check the
National Weather Service at the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA)
for the latest Weather.
