Financially, students should plan for lunch on Saturday before the program begins and dinner Saturday night.
There are restaurants on the street near the hotel. You need to plan for any snacks or meal needs outside of what TAPPI is providing. There is a list of nearby restaurants for options, under "About Portland".
When should I book my hotel? (And how do I get to the hotel from the airport?)
As soon as you know your travel plans and definitely before Christmas! The Holiday Inn by the Bay can guarantee the conference rate until December 15, 2015. Most hotels require a credit card number to hold the room, but will not require payment until arrival or checkout. The hotel will fill up quickly, so early reservation is encouraged.
When should I arrive?
Most students will arrive first thing Saturday morning. If you have scheduled an interview on Friday, you should arrive in time for your earliest interview. This year once again, interviewing companies are permitted to have interview space beginning Friday afternoon. The program itself begins at 12:00pm on Saturday. Registration will open on Saturday prior to the start of the program. A tentative schedule is posted online.
Can I pay with a check?
Pre-registration must be done online and payment must be made with a credit card. If you must pay with a check, please send an email to thickson@tappi.org.
Travel Stipends
If support is available, travel stipends are provided after the event to student chapters who request assistance, and is weighted on how many schools request assistance, distance from event site, and volume of attendance. The deadline for requesting assistance for the student chapter is December 31st. You will need to register all your attendees for consideration. No assistance is guaranteed or provided directly to individuals. Please notify thickson@tappi.org if your school is in need of a travel stipend.
