OVERVIEW
Through inspired leadership, our main street programs throughout Oregon are helping to sustain and enhance the vitality of traditional commercial districts. The 2022 Oregon Main Street Conference is a great way to look at the “big picture” of why our main street districts are so incredibly important to the health and well-being of local communities – physically, economically, and socially.
​
Our conference theme this year is Engage – Inspire - Empower, which reflects the goals of our Oregon Main Street organizations to engage people from all walks of life, inspire their communities towards enhancement, and empower leaders to make a difference.

Sessions cover a variety of topics for both beginners and those with experience. The format includes keynotes, interactive workshops, and networking time.  Join us for this very special, one-of-a-kind conference!

Be sure to visit the Oregon Main Street Conference website for information on the schedule of events and on sessions.
WHO SHOULD ATTEND
Staff and volunteers of organizations focusing on downtown historic preservation and economic development, downtown business and property owners, government leaders, chamber of commerce professionals and volunteers, and others with an interest in the future of downtown will benefit from attending this conference.

HEALTH & SAFETY
Our hope is to provide not only a fun and informative conference, but also a safe experience for all of our visitors. Conference staff will comply with all regulatory and venue-specified guidelines, and at a minimum will provide masks and sanitizer at no charge for our guests. Additionally, you will have the opportunity to indicate your comfort with close contact using color-coded sticker on your conference badge.

Please see additional COVID-19 precautions, including instructions should you feel ill, here. 

HOST COMMUNITY
This year's conference will be hosted in beautiful Downtown Klamath Falls. In addition to some amazing learning opportunities during the conference, you'll have an opportunity to experience our historic downtown with its delectable eateries, charming boutique shops, and perfectly-paced night life. Plus, we're providing some exciting post-conference opportunities to experience what makes our region unique - make sure you plan to stay for the weekend after the conference! 

Klamath Falls, at approximately 4,100 feet in elevation, features incredibly comfortable weather in early fall. Expect nice, cool mornings (usually in the 40s) and nice warm days (in the 70s). Rain is certainly a possibility in the high desert shoulder seasons so attendees should plan on wearing layers and be prepared with light rain gear. 


Before you make your lodging reservations, check out what our region has to offer and review the post-conference excursions on the registration page - we're sure you'll want to extend your stay through the weekend!
