WE LIVE FOR MAGIC

We live for the lights, the music, the food, the learning, the inspiration, and the togetherness. We live for positive change and transformative experiences that blaze a path toward endless possibilities. The awesome potential of every event keeps us on our toes and, sometimes, knee-deep in caffeine. But the magic of pulling it all off? Totally worth it.

WE GET IT DONE

Last minute request? Done. Idea about how to do something better? Done. Guest who wants something we’ve never heard of—now, if possible? Done. And done. YES is the answer. Determination, creativity and teamwork are how we deliver on it.

Animals

We love our animal friends, but the convention center prohibits all animals on its campus. This includes therapy or anxiety pets. Only animals trained to provide assistance to an individual with a disability, through a specific action, are allowed.

Alcohol consumption

We love our beer, wine and spirits in Portland, but we also want everyone to enjoy their visit in a safe and friendly atmosphere. An alcoholic beverage may only be consumed in the area where it was purchased. No outside alcohol is allowed onto the property (this includes all parking locations).

Balloons

Balloons bring joy to the faces of many, but due to our high ceilings and exposed rigging, please choose another way to celebrate. No helium (or lighter-than-air) filled balloons are permitted in the facility.

Outside food and beverages

Portland’s reputation for food and beverages spans the globe. Please enjoy your delicious finds outside the facility. The OCC does not permit any outside food or beverages. All catering, concessions, food and beverage services are provided exclusively through our in house caterer, pacificwild catering.

Chairs and seating

Please leave all chairs, couches and air mattresses at home. We have plenty of comfy seats here, or enjoy our soft carpet.

Lost and found

Sometimes you just forget where you set your phone, or you leave your coat on the back of a chair. Lost and found items are tagged, cataloged and stored for 30 days. After that, unclaimed items are donated. If you’ve lost something, call OCC Administration at 503-235-7575 or email ask@oregoncc.org. Please provide a detailed description of the item you lost. Also, if you happen to have a photo of your missing item, including it will help us to identify it too.

Smoking

The OCC is a non-smoking facility. This includes e-cigarettes, vaporizers and all smokable substances. Smoking is permitted outside the facility only in designated areas.
