The Oregon Foot and Ankle Conference runs Thursday 22 to Saturday 24 October 2026 in Room F150-151 at the Oregon Convention Center, 777 NE Martin Luther King Jr Blvd. The venue page marks the event registration required. Thursday and Friday each run 7:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. for 9.5 CECH. Saturday runs 7:00 a.m. to 1:45 p.m. for 6 CECH.
Saturday frees the afternoon at 1:15 p.m.
The physician programme page lists Saturday as 7:00 a.m. to 1:45 p.m. for 6 CECH. The programme guide carries six Saturday blocks. Breakfast and Learn opens at 7:00-8:00 a.m. for 1 CECH. Advancing Total Ankle Replacement runs 8:00-9:00 a.m. A break sits at 9:00-9:15 a.m. Team Approach to Diabetic Limb Salvage runs 9:15-11:00 a.m. for 1.75 CECH. Advanced Healing Strategies runs 11:00 a.m. to 12:00 p.m. for 1 CECH. Lunch and Learn closes the day at 12:00-1:15 p.m. for 1.25 CECH.
Those six blocks total 6 CECH. The last one ends at 1:15 p.m. The 1:45 p.m. close on the programme page sits 30 minutes later. A delegate books the airport run on the 1:15 p.m. release and treats 1:45 p.m. as the outer limit.
Three scans on Saturday
Badges carry bar codes and a personal record. The guide lists three Saturday scans: one on arrival, one at 9:00-9:15 a.m., and one on departure. Thursday and Friday each carry four. CECH certificates reach attendees by 20 November 2026.
The departure scan records the CECH against the badge. A delegate who leaves early still scans out.
Twelve outlets are closed on 24 October
The venue runs an Eat Now page that answers one date at a time. The query for Saturday 24 October returns twelve listed outlets and marks every one Closed. The list covers both Portland Coffee Roasters stands, both food-truck plazas, Stir Bistro and Lounge, Spire Kitchen, Skyview Lounge, Ginkoberry Marketplace, Orbit Marketplace, Port Strata, Dragon Boat Grill and Crescent Collective. The page carries its own line, that the centre hosts other eateries and they are closed on this date.
Lunch sits inside the programme. The 12:00-1:15 p.m. Lunch and Learn session carries the meal. A delegate who stays past 1:15 p.m. eats off-site.
The wallet the building accepts
The convention center publishes itself as a cashless venue. Transactions inside take credit or debit cards and touchless payment methods. Five ATMs sit in the building: Pre-Function A Lobby, Pre-Function B Lobby, Pre-Function C Lobby, South Ginkoberry Concourse and Pre-Function E Lobby. Reverse ATMs convert cash to a Visa card.
A delegate carrying only cash converts at one of the reverse machines before the session ends.
The car stays parked or pays twice
Onsite parking sits in an underground garage of 800 spaces. Entry runs through NE Lloyd Boulevard on P1 or NE First Avenue on P2. Clearance is 7 feet on P1 and 9 feet on P2. The standard rate is $15 for up to 18 hours. Event days take a dynamic rate of $15 to $25 at entry. The garage opens at 6:00 a.m. and bars overnight parking.
The ticket carries no in-and-out privileges. One entry costs $15 at the standard rate. Two entries in one day cost $30, and the same pair reaches $50 at the dynamic ceiling. A delegate who parked before the 7:00 a.m. session has already spent the first entry.
Four charging stations
The venue's sustainability page lists four charging stations for electric vehicles. That page and the directions page assign no station to P1 or P2, and neither publishes a port count. A delegate who needs a charge confirms the position ahead of arrival on the venue line, 503-235-7575.
The afternoon on foot
The venue sits in Lloyd, and the Moda Center and Veterans Memorial Coliseum stand alongside it. The Convention District Safe Connect Program posts coordinators on the street and runs an escort between the centre, nearby hotels and transit stops.
Transit sits close. TriMet bus line 6 stops at NE MLK and Holladay and at NE MLK and Hoyt. The Streetcar A Loop reaches the NE MLK and Hoyt stop every 15 minutes. MAX light rail stops 300 times a day at the front entrance.
A bicycle skips the garage charge. Bicycle parking is free on both levels, at 32 spaces on P1 and 14 on P2. Accessible spaces sit on both levels, 10 on P1 and 11 on P2, and P2 carries the 9-foot clearance that suits adapted vehicles. On the street, 566 metered spaces sit within three blocks of the building.
If Saturday is the flight home
Portland International Airport sits eight miles from the building, and MAX light rail reaches it from a platform at the front entrance. A delegate released at 1:15 p.m. and scanned out holds the rest of the day for the trip.
Five things to settle before Thursday
One. Build the Saturday afternoon from 1:15 p.m., with 1:45 p.m. as the published outer limit.
Two. Scan out. The departure scan is the third Saturday scan and the one that records the CECH.
Three. Carry a card. The building takes card and touchless payment only.
Four. Eat before 1:15 p.m. or plan the meal off-site. Twelve outlets are closed on 24 October.
Five. Walk or ride. A second garage entry costs $30 at the standard rate and $50 at the dynamic ceiling.
