DINE AROUNDS
There’s nothing like sampling the local fare with your fellow PRCs at the Dine Around evening extravaganza!
​
This year, we aimed to make all of the restaurants within reasonable walking distance (but you can share a ride, if preferred) and to ensure a great mix of food styles and price ranges is top of mind.
​
The Dine Around is Tuesday evening, May 5 of the conference. Just before, we’ll have a Welcome cocktail reception at 5 p.m. at the hotel. All dinner reservations are at 7 pm. Note: Not all of the restaurants will do separate checks, so please plan accordingly.
Below are reservation spots as well as a chance to experience Portland’s food cart culture at the city’s unique food hall. After you review them, click here to sign up for your top two choices.
