		Portland, Oregon Set in a stunning natural landscape of mountains, evergreens and rivers, Portland's waterfront, lush hills, historic buildings, and clean streets make it the perfect place to host a conference. Boasting cooler climates in the summer and more moderate temperatures in the winter, this emerging city is committed to preserving its landscape and heritage. Conference Hotel Portland Marriott Downtown Hotel 1401 SW Naito Parkway Portland, OR 97201 1-800-546-9513 We chose the Portland Marriott Downtown Hotel because of its location on the waterfront and proximity to the heart of downtown, as well as for the smaller details such as high-speed internet access and pillow-topped mattresses in every room. The hotel was clearly designed for conferences where networking and conversation are important, and we hope you can stay with us there. We reserved a block of rooms for the nights of June 2nd, 3rd, and 4th at a conference price of only $95.00 per night, but this price could be guaranteed only through May 14th. If you wish to stay at the conference hotel, there may still be rooms available at this rate, but rather than contacting hotel reservations directly, please send your request by e-mail to our Events Manager, Melissa Herwaldt Riches, at melissa@idealist.org.
