Afterwards    Post Conference Gathering Places

FRIDAY: On Friday, the conference will conclude at 5:30 p.m. If you did not purchase tickets to the dinner that night, we have provided several options below.

SATURDAY: On Saturday evening the session will conclude at 5 p.m. and we must be out of the church no later than 5:30 p.m. We hope you will plan to continue the conversations with other participants at these suggested restaurants. Of course, downtown Portland has many other options. Yelp can provide guidance if you care to try other restaurants .in the area. 

NOTE: We have provided some flip chart papers in the hallway by the narthex for you to plan meeting places for particular groups or discussion topics.
