Social Activities
We are having suggested gathering
places and hosting a workshop dinner for TES VI
workshop participants as a way to maintain the
intimacy of the TES workshop within the larger ASC
conference. These are all located in the downtown area
of Portland. The cost of dinner will be largely
covered by the generous contribution from our
sponsors, Rogue
Valley Microdevices, Star Cryoelectronics,
Luxel and High Precision Devices.
We are suggesting the following
restaurant and brewpub for people from the TES
workshop to meet in the evenings when other events are
not taking place, such as Sunday and Monday:
Restaurant: Clyde Common,
1014 SW Stark Street, Portland - Directions
Brew pub: Bridgeport
Brewpub, 1313 NW Marshall Street, Portland - Directions
TES-VI Workshop Banquet
Location: Oba
Restaurant, 555 NW 12th Avenue, Portland, in
the heart of the Pearl District, Nuevo Latino
Cuisine.
When: Wednesday October 10th, 2012,
7:30PM
Directions:
Oba restaurant is reachable by foot, about a 30 minute
walk using the recommended route here, or 25
minutes using the most direct route over the Steel
bridge. Alternatively one may take the MAX (Green) or
bus (4, 44 or 77) from the convention center to next
to the train station, and walk 6 blocks as shown here. The
new Portland streetcar might also be available by
October.
The cost of the banquet for the first 80
people to respond should be about $30 (including tip
etc.). For additional people after the first 80, the
cost will increase to $50, so reserve your place early
- no payment is needed for the reservation. Alcoholic
beverages are available and must be paid for directly
by individuals at the dinner.
