SOLD OUT

NOTE: This is a separate ticketed event (free) that is not included with conference attendee passes.

The Port of Portland is excited to host a tour of T2, a former marine terminal being transformed and revitalized as a campus for mass timber and housing manufacturing, and the new main terminal at PDX, where travelers will soon be able to look up and see a soaring 9-acre roof constructed of mass timber — all sourced from within 300 miles of the airport and through a first-of-its-kind supply chain.

Space for this tour is very limited. Please fill out the application by Friday, February 9, for a chance to join.
