Travel Info

Conference Venue

The CogSci2010 Conference will be held at the Oregon Convention Center (OCC). The Center is located across the river from downtown Portland, at 777 NE MLK, Jr. Blvd. Portland, OR 97232.

Public Transportation

Portland's lightrail, TriMet MAX Lightrail transit, connects from/to Portland International Airport (PDX) and stops 162 times a day at OCC's own station. The center is located within the city's "Fareless Square", allowing passengers to travel on the trains for free within the downtown area. MAX makes stops throughout downtown Portland, the airport and west to Hillsboro, Oregon. A Portland TriMet bus (Line #6) stops on Martin Luther King (MLK) Blvd., directly across the street from the convention center. If you need assistance in planning your trip, the TriMet Trip Planner makes it easy.
