ACTIVITIES LODGING PROGRAM REGISTRATION SPEAKER & MODERATOR INFO VENDOR/SPONSOR OPPORUNITIES	Advancing Rural ITS to the Next Level... The 2009 National Rural ITS Conference (NRITS) promises to provide a variety of networking opportunities and time with vendors to help you develop in your professional career. Training will provide the transportation professional with cost effective professional development hours. Three miles of powder-soft beach and two miles of manicured, ocean front boardwalk invite Conference attendees and guests to relax and take in the views. A pleasant 90 minute drive from Portland, Seaside has plenty of nearby, family fun activities including aquariums, shopping, kite flying, and amusement rides - not to mention the beautiful Pacific Ocean. Take a casual stroll along the Promenade boardwalk and enjoy the turnaround at Broadway in the heart of Seaside. Broadway has many shops and activities for visitors. Just a few minutes from downtown, the wonders of this magnificent coastal wilderness are waiting to be discovered along many secluded walking and hiking trails. Seaside has hundreds of other delightful secrets to discover every day. No wonder it's Oregon's first and favorite family coastal resort town. Plan on joining us Sunday, August 23rd, for golfing at Gearhart Golf Links, one of the oldest courses on the West Coast and the beach bonfire. We look forward to seeing you in Seaside! Staying in Portland? Planning on staying in Portland after the conference? If so, take advantage of a discounted room rate of $79 (plus tax) for one queen or $89 (plus tax) per night for a double queen or king at the Doubltree Hotel Portland on Multnomah Street.
