LODGING FOR BECON 2009
The most affordable accommodations for BECon 2009 are located on the campus of Portland State University. For attendees who wish to stay in a hotel rather than campus housing, we’ve reserved a block of rooms at the stylish new Hotel Modera, just a ten-minute walk from conference headquarters.
PORTLAND STATE STUDENT HOUSING
The Broadway Building
European style rooms with two single beds, private bathrooms and kitchens in one of PSU’s newest buildings. The Broadway Building features green building design with rainwater harvesting, low energy usage, and recycled materials design.
Rate is $50.00 per room per night which must be reserved via the BECon 2009 registration pages. Please note that the rooms each contain two single beds and may be shared to halve the cost per night. Attendees must independently arrange room share and have one of the attendees pay for the nights. To expedite this process Bullseye will soon launch an online bulletin board for BECon 2009 attendees, one feature of which will be a room-sharing notice board.

PSU housing is available for the duration of the conference and post-conference workshops (but not for pre-conference workshops). Reservations will be placed through the BECon 2009 registration website.
HOTEL MODERA
The newest boutique hotel in downtown Portland is located on the corner of 5th and Clay, just a ten-minute walk to PSU campus. The Modera features mid-century modern design and is ideally situated just off PSU’s park-like campus in the heart of downtown, offering easy access to city busses and Portland’s famous light rail system.
Rates start at $129 per room per night.
For reservations, please contact the hotel directly at (877) 484-1084. Be sure to mention BECon 2009 to receive the discounted rate.
