Can you believe #19NTC is in two weeks? We certainly can’t…
Here at ThinkShout, we’ve been buzzing with excitement over the conference and a chance to share the city we love with the community that we hold in high regard. After all, without you, NTC doesn’t exist. We’re of course anticipating #NTCBeer and our Happy Hour hosted at our office on March 13th (RSVP and reserve your spot if you haven’t yet!). But in the end it gets down to ensuring you have a rich, vibrant experience in our city.
Portland is often branded as a very homogenous city, but there are in fact many LGBTQ- POC- and womxn-owned businesses in town that we love. We hope you take the time to support them while in town. Below is a collection of places the ThinkShout team holds near and dear. This is by no means a comprehensive list, which is why we have included some other resources that could help you find local businesses we encourage you support while you’re here for #19NTC:
HOTELS or PLACES TO WORK FROM WHILE IN TOWN
COFFEE SHOPS

DRINK
La Familia Cider – try their Tamarindo cider!! So good.
Brewvana
