Northwest Exchange FAQs

Do I need to rent a car? 

  • All of the conference events will take place at the conference hotel. Evening activities will be in downtown Portland. Portland has a bus system, train system (MAX), Uber and Lyft. Attendees will need to arrange transportation to and from the airport.

What will the weather be like?

What should I wear?

Do I need to bring anything?
