The debut of Horizons Northwest took place in Portland, Oregon, on September 14 - 18, 2022. We will host this event again on December 1 - 3, 2023, as well as our flagship conference in New York City on May 9 - 11, 2024. 

Horizons Northwest 2023 is taking place December 1 - 3, 2023 at the Portland Art Museum, 1219 SW Park Avenue, in Portland, Oregon.

The Museum is conveniently located on the historic Park Blocks in the center of downtown Portland, which is easy to get around by public transit or on foot. The Portland Business Alliance has installed way-finding signs which direct you to the cultural district, where the Museum is located.

The Willamette River divides the City of Portland into east and west districts. The Portland Art Museum is roughly 12 blocks south of West Burnside Street and nine blocks west of the Willamette River. (Park Avenue is the same as 9th Avenue). The Museum is bounded by SW Park Avenue to the east, 10th Avenue to the west, Jefferson Street to the south, and Main Street to the north.

All registrations made at this time are final sales and non-refundable. Refunds are the sole discretion of the Conference.

Entrances

For conference forums, attendees will enter through the Mark Building.

The Mark Building can be accessed from the sidewalk. There is a space between the planters, then you can go straight to the Mark Building doors. They are very large heavy glass doors and don't have push activation yet (something I'm working on).  Once inside, you can take the elevators that are in the lobby across from the security desk. This will take you to the 3rd floor where the Grand Ballroom is.

Restrooms

All restrooms have accessible stalls but no power doors. There are single-stall gender-neutral bathrooms available. Please ask staff for directions.

Parking

There are two accessible parking spots right in front of the courtyard with a loading zone behind them. They are 2 hour limit. There are also 2 accessible spots on the other side of the museum on 10th. There are 4 in the paid lot at Main and Park.

For Trimet Lift and rideshare passengers, there is a loading zone with a curb cutout in front of the museum at SW Park Avenue and Madison Street.
