This October, MAXX 2025 takes center stage at the Oregon Convention Center and the stylish Hyatt Regency Portland, offering not just world-class sessions and networking but also an unforgettable city experience.

Whether you’re soaking up skyline views from rooftop bars or hopping on Portland’s iconic light rail with your complimentary TriMet pass, MAXX isn’t just a conference — it’s your gateway to everything Portland has to offer. From tax-free shopping to exclusive attendee discounts, MAXX is making sure your time in the city is as inspiring as the sessions inside.

TriMet Passes
Every MAXX attendee will receive a TriMet pass that can be used on the MAX lightrail, Portland Streetcar, and the bus system. The passes are valid for the duration of MAXX plus the following day (Oct. 13-17) so you can take the MAX lightrail to the airport, if you’d like.

Portland Welcome Desk
A knowledgeable Travel Portland ambassador will be on hand at the Oregon Convention Center during the first two days of MAXX to answer any questions you may have – restaurant recommendations, tour information, how to use the TriMet passes, etc. Plus, the info desk will be full of maps and guides to make your time in the city a breeze.

Portland Perks
Not only is everything tax-free in Portland, but a variety of local born-and-bred brands are offering exclusive discounts to MAXX attendees. Take advantage of these added savings — like 20% off a purchase at Columbia Sportswear’s downtown flagship store — while you are in Portland. Details about all the discounts will be available at the Portland Welcome Desk.
