New England chapter members to attend October SIOR 2019 World Conference in Portland, Oregon

Porland, OR Mt. Hood to Multnomah Falls. Roller Derby to Rose Gardens. Powell’s City of Books to Paul Bunyan. Trailblazers to Timbers. Craft brews to the Columbia River Gorge. Just a start to the sites and sounds you’ll experience in Oregon.

And with so much to see and do, it’s all the more reason to make plans to join your peers across commercial real estate at the 2019 SIOR Fall World Conference. On top of a great destination, you’ll experience the leadership and education you’ve come to expect from an SIOR conference, and the invaluable opportunities to connect with the best-of-the-best in industrial and office brokerage. 

All Fall World Conference activities will take place at the Hilton Portland Downtown, unless otherwise noted. Located in the city’s business and entertainment district and one block from the MAX Light Rail System, this hotel offers access to top attractions including the Portland Saturday Market, the Oregon Museum of Science and Industry, the Portland Art Museum, and many shopping and dining options. Rooms have been blocked for attendees at the Hilton and its boutique sister-property, The Duniway Portland, a Hilton Hotel, located across the street. From both locations you can walk to music and theater venues, tax-free shopping, Providence Park, craft breweries, and more. There is a golf trip as well.
