Visit Portland is Greater Portland’s Destination Marketing Organization. In addition to encouraging travelers to visit our local businesses and historic, cultural and recreational sites, we help bring groups to our state for events and serve as a “one-stop shop” for meeting and event planners and organizers. 

When you let us know about a group that could hold a meeting here, we can provide the company, corporation, organization, group of hobbyists or sports team with our planning expertise for free!

We provide free meeting assistance with: 

• Overnight accommodations and event space availability
• Bid proposals and presentations
• Site inspections and area tours
• Marketing materials for event promotion

• Itinerary and program ideas
• Images, video and PR distribution for events open to the public
• Gift ideas
• Guides for attendees

• Alleviating stress by making the planning process less complicated
• Getting expertise and insider knowledge
• Connecting your group with meeting venues, hotels, restaurants and more

• Saving money
• Supporting local businesses and jobs 
• Having a convenient and accessible meeting destination 
• Reducing the event’s carbon footprint since air travel won’t be needed
