Hotels, Lodging and Local Information
Student Accommodation, special note:
We have made an arrangement with Portland State University to help keep the housing costs down, and this arrangement requires that the CNS organization take responsibility for assigning rooms and distributing the keys.
Students will receive room keys with registration material at The Benson Hotel. Then they will be given directions (and possibly shuttled) to the student housing building. Our registration desk will be open on Saturday 13:00 - 23:00, and Monday-Wednesday 8:00 - 18:00. If you will need to obtain your keys at another time because of your travel arrangements, please contact the local organizer <local@cnsorg.org> and we will make arrangements.
The main meeting (July 19-22) will be held at Benson Hotel, in downtown Portland, Oregon, UA. The Hotel is currently listed on the National Register of Historic Places, and is a Portland landmark.
The workshops will be held at OHSU Center for Health and Healing at the foot of the Aerial tram to OHSU. Accessible via streetcar from hotels. See map sketch for layout.
