Venue Information
Oregon Convention Center
777 NE MLK, Jr. Blvd.
Portland, OR 97232
The Oregon Convention Center is known for being modern, green, and tech friendly. We have a cozy corner of the facility for breakout sessions, birds of a feather talks, code sprints, and a large space for us all to gather together.
Hotels, happy hours, and restaurants are just a short free train ride (or slightly longer walk or bike ride) away, and post-conference events will take advantage of the independent local coffee shops, breweries, and restaurants Portland is known for. You can even use OpenStreetMap to plan how you get around. TriMet, Portland's public transit agency, uses OSM as the basemap in its trip planner showing walking, biking, and public transit routes.
Portland is a leader in openness. In 2009 Mayor Sam Adams pledged that the city would consider open source over proprietary products and would open their data to the public, much of which has been contributed back to improve OpenStreetMap data in the region.
