Oregon Christian Writers Founded in 1963, we are an organization of writers, both amateur and professional, who are Christians. Our members write for both ministry and markets.
The 2013 Summer Conference will be held at the beautiful Jantzen Beach Red Lion Hotel on the River in Portland. Conveniently located on the scenic Columbia River, minutes from downtown Portland and only 5 minutes from the Portland International Airport (with complimentary on-call airport transportation), the hotel offers many amenities for conferees, including:
Guest rooms featuring:
- Private balconies (some with river, pool, tenni court views)
- Free WiFi throughout the hotel grounds
- 32″ LCD televisions with cable and network channels
- Mini-kitchenettes with refrigerator, microwave and coffee maker
- In-room safe
On-site amenities including:
- Pool and spa
- Fitness facilities
- Tennis courts
- Elevator service
- Business center with computers, copier, fax machine
- Room service
- Complimentary airport shuttle
- Free parking
As part of our conference, Red Lion is offering rooms for our conferees with the following rates (each room has two queen beds):
- $99/night (single/double occupancy)
- $109/night (triple occupancy)
- $119/night (four in a room) – four conferees splitting the cost of a room means less than $90 per person for the entire conference!
With the new facilities at our new location, how will the meals work? I appreciated eating lunch and dinner as a group so the conferees can get to know the faculty better. Will this still be possible in 2013? Any idea about the costs for that?
Hi, Terri –
Good news! Here’s the official word from our Conference Director:
See you in August!
Thanks for the quick answer. I’m glad to hear how it’s going to work so I’ll know how to plan. Very excited! Thanks again.
