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.

Hyatt Regency Portland at the Oregon Convention Center creates tipping point for 26 conventions to choose Portland

From Metro News

The organizers of 26 conventions have chosen Portland after construction began on the Hyatt Regency Portland hotel, validating projections from hotel boosters about the project’s impact on the local economy.

Before construction, hotel backers said as many as 10 new mid-sized conventions each year would choose Portland because of the addition of a 600-room hotel across the street from the convention center. The hotel is slated to open in early 2020.
