Travel and Food
Below you will find information regarding travel to the conference from the Eugene and Portland airports, as well as food and restaurant recommendations.
Groome transportation runs shuttle vans between the Portland Airport and the University of Oregon Law Library (which is a 5-minute walk from the on-campus housing, a 10-minute walk from Hayward Inn, and a 15-minute walk from the Holiday Inn). Their shuttles run at nine different times throughout the day. They recommend making reservations online ahead of time and will suggest a shuttle time based on your flight information. More information can be found here on their website, here: https://groometransportation.com/portland-airport/eugene/?&sd_client_id=9be135c6-93b4-4a07-801c-2b22961cf514
Amtrak offers train transportation from Portland to Eugene. Trains depart three times per day, and operate daily. Travel time via train is approximately 2 hours 45 minutes. Please note that their drop-off and pick up location in Portland is Union Station (rather the airport), so public transit or an Uber/Lyft may be required.

One of their pick-up and drop-off locations is at the University of Oregon’s Hayward Field (also about a 5-minute walk from the on-campus housing, a 10-minute walk from Hayward Inn, and a 15-minute walk from the Holiday Inn).
