    Where It All Happens.

    Monitorama PDX will be held in the Gerding Theater at The Armory (map), in the Pearl District of Portland, Oregon. The venue is a beautiful space, and also happens to be one of the greenest buildings in America. It's the first theater in the U.S. and the first building on the National Register of Historic Places to achieve a LEED Platinum rating. The venue address is 128 NW 11th Ave Portland, OR 97209.

    Looking for a Hotel?

    We generally recommend The Mark Spencer Hotel, The Bidwell Marriott Portland, the Sentinel Hotel, or the Ace Hotel Portland. They're all walking distance from The Armory and have good reviews.

    From Portland International Airport

    • Take the TriMet MAX Red Line light rail and exit at Tenth Avenue/SW Morrison St (40 minutes)
    • Walk to The Armory (7 minutes)

    Check out the directions provided by The Armory.

    COVID-19 Policy

    To ensure the safety and well-being of everyone in attendance, we are asking all participants (including vendors, sponsors, speakers, staff and attendees) to have received a full COVID-19 vaccination, including boosters, as recommended by the CDC at least two (2) weeks prior to travel for this event. COVID-19 Compliance Officers (CCO) will be onsite, performing vaccination checks during the registration process. Patrons can show either paper or electronic documentation (including a photo of your vaccination card), along with a photo ID.

    All participants will also be required to wear an appropriate facial mask (we recommend KN95 or N95 masks) covering the mouth and nose. Masks are required in all areas of the building and should only be removed when eating or drinking within the premises.

    If you cannot comply with these requirements, we ask that you request a ticket refund by June 6, 2022 and enjoy the show by watching our live stream remotely.

    Code of Conduct

    All delegates, speakers, sponsors and volunteers at any Monitorama event are required to agree with the following code of conduct. Organizers will enforce this code throughout the event.

    The Quick Version

    Monitorama is dedicated to providing a harassment-free conference experience for everyone, regardless of gender, sexual orientation, disability, physical appearance, body size, race, or religion. We do not tolerate harassment of conference participants in any form. Sexual language and imagery is not appropriate for any conference venue, including talks. Conference participants violating these rules may be sanctioned or expelled from the conference without a refund at the discretion of the conference organizers.

    The Less Quick Version

    Harassment includes offensive verbal comments related to gender, sexual orientation, disability, physical appearance, body size, race, religion, sexual images in public spaces, deliberate intimidation, stalking, following, harassing photography or recording, sustained disruption of talks or other events, inappropriate physical contact, and unwelcome sexual attention.

    Participants asked to stop any harassing behavior are expected to comply immediately.

    Sponsors are also subject to the anti-harassment policy. In particular, sponsors should not use sexualized images, activities, or other material.

    Be careful in the words that you choose. Remember that sexist, racist, and other exclusionary jokes can be offensive to those around you. Excessive swearing and offensive jokes are not appropriate for Monitorama.

    If a participant engages in harassing behavior, the conference organizers may take any action they deem appropriate, including warning the offender or expulsion from the conference with no refund.

    If you are being harassed, notice that someone else is being harassed, or have any other concerns, please contact a member of conference staff immediately. Conference staff will be visible by their special badges and clothing.

    Conference staff will be happy to help participants contact hotel/venue security or local law enforcement, provide escorts, or otherwise assist those experiencing harassment to feel safe for the duration of the conference. We value your attendance.

    We expect participants to follow these rules at all conference venues and conference-related social events.
