Due to the necessity of holding meetings at both the Portland Hilton
and the Embassy Suites for this Plenary Session, we have arranged for
a shuttle to run between the two properties on a continuous basis.
The shuttle will run from 8 am until 10pm on Monday, Tuesday, and
Thursday. On Friday it will run from 8am until 7pm. On Wednesday,
the shuttle will run between the Hilton and Embassy Suites from 8am
until 6:30pm with additional transportation from both hotels to the
social starting at 6pm. Additional information on the shuttle, as
well as other public transportation options is on the IEEE 802
On-Site Website.
The Portland Hilton, the Embassy Suites, and the Heathman were ALL
SOLD OUT. However, both the Hilton and the Embassy Suites have had
some late cancellations. If you don't have a room reserved yet, or
if you have your name on an IEEE 802 Wait-List, please contact the
Portland Hilton (503-226-1611) and/or the Embassy Suites
(503-279-9000) to check for current availability.
Because July is High Season in Portland and there are now very few
rooms available downtown, the Portland Oregon Visitors Association
(POVA) has provided the link below, which contains information on
many local hotels and gives you the ability to make room reservations
via the web. Please note that IEEE 802 HAS NOT confirmed group rates
at these additional locations, however many will still offer
corporate or web discount rates if available. Should you have any
questions or concerns, please contact Face to Face Events, Inc. at
408-241-8906 or send an e-mail to: 802info@ieee.org
