Hosted at the Portland State University Smith Memorial Student Union in Portland, Oregon’s multimodal downtown, this year’s summit will feature compelling keynote speakers, roundtables with lawmakers and decision-makers, and advocacy updates from coalition partners statewide. The Street Trust will also hold its annual meeting and elections during the summit.
