Who is eligible to attend?
All internal and external auditors serving a city, county, state, federal or tribal government in Oregon.
What is the conference dress code?
Conference Sessions: Business casual. Layers are recommended as temperatures can fluctuate and comfy shoes are always advised. It’s good to take care of your feet!
Will meals be provided and what will be served?
Yes! Breakfast and lunch will be provided both days of the summit as well as snacks. Meals will be provided as buffets that include vegetarian and gluten-free options. If you have specific dietary needs not addressed above, please be prepared ahead of time.
Lunch each day will take place in the Main Hall, which is on the mezzanine level of the Space Museum. When you exit the Theater & Event Center, head to the right (East) and enter the main entrance to the museum. Then go to the left of the admission desk. There is a flight of stairs and elevator just past the restrooms that will take you right up to the Main Hall.
On day two, the extended afternoon break will take place on the Aviation Mezzanine. The Aviation Museum is on the opposite side of the parking lot (West) and is a mirror image of the Space Museum. Once inside the front doors, there is a flight of stairs to the right that leads to the mezzanine level. The snack area will be on the North side of the mezzanine, which is to the right at the top of the stairs.
Where should I park and what does it cost?
Parking is free, plentiful, and located directly at the venue.
When arriving on campus, the road splits into a “Y” in front of the Aviation museum. Head to the right at the "Y" and park anywhere in the main parking lot.

What should I expect at the Lunch networking event?
This year, we're trying something new and hosting a lunch networking event called Networking Bingo. Each attendee will receive a bingo card with various questions or prompts. To play, you'll need to meet fellow attendees who match the descriptions on your card. Introduce yourself, get the person to initial your square, and once you've marked off five squares in a row—whether diagonally, vertically, or horizontally. Bring your card to the planners for confirmation and a prize! Attendees are encouraged to mingle and fill out their bingo card while enjoying lunch in the Space Mezzanine.
