Eat and drink like a local or dine all over the world
Our two Portland Roasting cafés serve organic coffee, beverages, fresh bakery goods, assorted oatmeal breakfasts, yogurt, and sandwiches.
And it doesn’t get more Portland than the Stir Bistro and Lounge, a full service restaurant with a menu focused exclusively on local flavors and specialties. If you like microbrews, Oregon wine or homegrown spirits, Stir has it!
For heartier appetites, our concession offerings range from delicious stir-fry to mouth-watering pizza or nachos, all made to satisfy. Enjoy!

You'll encounter options to recycle and compost items you no longer want or can't keep, so please sort them carefully into the receptacles we provide.
If you have a reusable bottle for your water, look for the bottle fill stations at our water fountains too!

First aid
The convention center has two fully equipped first aid rooms, one located in the Exhibit Hall A Lobby and the other outside Exhibit Hall E.
An Emergency Medical Technician (EMT) is on site during events with attendance over 1,000 or when otherwise deemed appropriate for the safety of attendees.
EMTs may be contacted by picking up any house phone and dialing “0” or by alerting any OCC staff member.
The building also has multiple defibrillator stations (AEDs) located in public spaces for immediate response to a medical emergency.
Lost and found

If you’ve lost something, call OCC Administration at 503-235-7575 or email ask@oregoncc.org.
