If you still have questions after reading the information below, view the conference registration FAQs, or contact us at loc@orcities.org or 503-588-6550. Phones may be busy, so emailing may be the quickest and easiest way to get assistance.
- Online Registration:
Online registration is available through the LOC registration system. If you have not used the LOC registration system before, please read the 'How to Register for LOC Events' guide. If you do not have a username and password or are unsure of your login credentials, you can email loc@orcities.org for assistance. Please note that cancellations are not accepted by phone; instead, send cancellations and substitution notices to loc@orcities.org. For the full cancellation policy, please view HERE. - Hotel Reservations for Attending City Officials:
Hotel reservations for the Waterfront Marriott will be made online using a unique URL. To receive the unique URL, a city attendee must first register for the conference. Once your registration is complete, you will receive an email confirmation with the unique URL, as well as further instructions on how to reserve your room. This year, we have secured enough rooms for all attending city officials at the Portland Marriott Waterfront. There will be no satellite hotels available for city attendees. - Confirmations:
An email confirmation with the unique URL will be sent to the email address of the person who is registering the attendees. You can send the email confirmation to additional recipients. At the bottom of the Order Confirmation page, you will see the option to send the confirmation email to another person. An LOC staff member manually sends the email confirmation with the unique URL. Because LOC staff are manually sending out the email confirmations, you may not receive the email confirmation immediately. Please know that confirmations are sent out in the order in which registrations are received, and this delay will not lessen your opportunity to reserve a room at the Waterfront Marriott. - Parking
Parking will be available onsite. LOC will provide 2 nights of parking for registered members only. More details to come.
