Getting Around
Thanks to the MAX, Portland's award-winning light rail system, attendees can travel from airport to hotel to convention center for the price of a famous Stumptown latté, all in the time it takes to slurp that last little bit of foam. Or, you can leisurely explore the city via the sleek Portland Streetcar. Both are free within a 330-square block area known as the "Free Rail Zone."
