PSHRA Annual Conference 2026
September 28-30, 2026
Portland, OR
Registration is Open!
PSHRA26 will be held at the Hilton Portland Downtown in Portland, OR.
The Hilton Portland Downtown serves as conference headquarters and is home to PSHRA26 sessions and events. Through our room block, attendees can stay at either the Hilton or the neighboring Duniway Portland, a Hilton Hotel, a sister property located across the street.
Hotel Room Block Update
Our official PSHRA room blocks at the Hilton Portland Downtown and The Duniway are nearing capacity. Depending on your arrival and departure dates, some nights may have limited availability or may already be sold out.
If your preferred dates are unavailable, book using our overflow reservation link.
Please note: Reservations made through this link are not part of the official PSHRA room block and may be subject to different rates, availability, and hotel policies.
Alternative hotels are provided for your convenience. PSHRA has not secured room blocks or negotiated special rates at these properties, and attendees are responsible for booking directly with each hotel.
Transportation between these hotels and the Hilton Portland Downtown will not be provided by PSHRA.
Official Room Block & Overflow Booking Options
Your official PSHRA26 booking link gives you the choice between the Hilton Portland Downtown—conference headquarters—and the neighboring Duniway Portland, a boutique Hilton hotel just steps away. Both properties offer the same discounted conference rate, making it easy to choose between staying where the action is or enjoying a more boutique experience just across the street.
If the official room block is sold out for your preferred dates, please use our overflow booking option.
Hilton Portland Downtown
Stay where the conference happens.
The Hilton Portland Downtown is home to PSHRA26 and places you steps from the Arlene Schnitzer Concert Hall, Pioneer Courthouse Square, and the heart of downtown Portland. Enjoy convenient access to conference activities along with on-site dining, a 24-hour fitness center, and modern guest amenities.

Boutique style just around the corner.
Located less than a block from the conference headquarters, The Duniway offers a more boutique experience with thoughtfully designed rooms, locally inspired dining, and premium amenities—including in-room espresso machines. It's an ideal choice for attendees looking for a quieter, elevated stay while remaining just steps from every PSHRA26 event.
