Transportation
Air
If you are traveling by air to the conference, the nearest international airport is Portland International Airport (PDX).
TriMet MAX light rail can be boarded directly at the airport terminal, which serves many neighborhoods within the Portland metro area. Rental cars, Uber, and Lyft are also available directly at the airport.
Train & Bus
Portland Union Station serves as both Amtrak train station and Grayhound bus stop.
TriMet MAX light rail can be boarded closeby at the Union Station stop on NW 6th and Hoyt. The MAX light rail system can be used to access many neighborhoods within the Portland metro area.
Light Rail
The conference venue is a roughly 200 meter walk from the Lloyd Center / NE 11th Ave MAX light rail station. MAX rides require a $2.80 ticket (adult fare) purchased at a station in advance of boarding.
Parking
Several free parking garages are located at the main venue. The largest is on the roof, accessible from the northwest corner of the mall. These garages are unlikely to fill up.
Street parking is in short supply, and is metered.
