Lodging and childcare
Participants are eligible for the Reed College rate at any of the hotels listed here. The conference will provide transportation from downtown to campus, so you may want to select a hotel in that area, e.g., the Paramount. Please make reservations early as late May is a popular time to visit Portland.
Reed maintains a website which contains a list of local childcare providers which may prove useful if you are travelling with children.
Portlandia
