Logistics

Basic logistics

We will meet in Portland, Oregon on 25–26 April 2025.

Presentations and the reception will be in the lovely McMenamins Kennedy School at 5736 NE 33rd Avenue.

Provisions

The workshop will provide fruit, pastries, and coffee in the morning, lunches in the afternoon, and more coffee during breaks. On the first night, we will host a reception with drinks and food. Post-workshop, there will likely be an informal hangout.

Lodging

Attendees are responsible for their own transporation and lodging.

If you are looking for a hotel, we strongly suggest checking rooms at the conference venue: McMenamins Kennedy School.

We've also had good experiences with:

• The Hoxton
• Ace Hotel
• Hotel Lucia
• Hi-Lo Hotel
• The Society
• McMenamins Crystal Hotel

There are also a few hostel-like options (e.g., here or here) nearby.
