Join us as we convene for the annual PRConsultants Group’s PRCG Portlandia 2026: Authenticity and Authority in an Artificial World conference. An impactful conference agenda will be paired with the caffeinated and entrepreneurial vibe of this river city – also known for its tech focus as the Silicon Forest - and verdant region well known for its spirit, spirits, wine, foodie love, and cottage industries culture. Besides technology, our key regional invested and traded sectors include sportswear, bioscience and innovation, timber, wine and agriculture.

​

Our conference hotel – Hampton Inn & Suites/Portland-Pearl District – is located in the innovation quarter of the Pearl District within walking distance of the river, 10 bridges, Voodoo Doughnuts and more. It is housed in a former warehouse and gritty early Portland business district and now converted with lux shopping and dining opps, the vibe is cool and relaxed.

​

On our first day, Tuesday, we’ll start our conference with a Noon welcome ‘coffee talk’ for new Members and their Mentors. Next we’ll launch with a fun icebreaker, followed by our State of the Network address, some great professional development, then the Rooftop Welcome Reception. The evening will feature lots of options for you to select from for the Dine Arounds. Wednesday will feature a Learning Lab, peer-to-peer problem solving sessions, our legendary Ten Talks, awards, professional development, agency management topics and more. In the evening, we’ll have a fun Portland -style group event and dinner.  On Thursday, we’ll have more great content, wrapping up at 1 p.m. It might be warm or sweater weather or soaking, there’s no predicting springtime in Portland!
