The Learning Community for Person Centered Practices
Annual International Gathering in Portland, Oregon July, 28 - August 1, 2008 THE 2008 CONFERENCE REGISTRATION IS NOW CLOSED. Thanks to all who registered for the 2008 International Gathering in beautiful Portland, Oregon. We look forward to another week of learning about best person centered practices being used around the world. Summary Agenda:
Location/Lodging: The conference will be held at University Place, www.uplace.pdx.edu. University Place is in a prime location, close to public transportation and the Tom McCall Water Front Park. We have negotiated a group rate of US $99/night + tax for sleeping rooms. Reservations can be made by calling 1-866-845-4647. In order to get the group rate you MUST tell them the block code “OTAC 2008″, and make your reservations early as rooms are limited! This hotel will fill up due to its prime location in downtown Portland. The block of rooms will be released June 28, 2008. If you plan on staying past Saturday and would like to avoid being required to switch rooms, when booking a room, request a ‘King room’.
For International Guests only: To avoid international calling charges, Todd Pangilinan, our Conference Coordinator, offered to book rooms via email. He can be reached at tjp@pdx.edu.
Group Dinner: This year, the group dinner will be at Portland City Grill on Wednesday, July 30 from 6pm until 10pm. We have selected a location that is smoke-free with an amazing view of Portland from the 30th floor of the US Bankcorp tower. Along with this beautiful view, we’ll have music and a buffet-style dinner. If you choose to attend, the cost for dinner is US $35.00 per person. You may pay for your dinner with your registration, or you may pay when you arrive in Portland, no later than Monday afternoon.
