Balancing Nightlife, Public Safety & Quality of Life in Mixed-Use Districts (Room N117)

In this session, seasoned industry professionals will discuss how to transform from a problem location to a successful partner in your town. Lessons learned in the Portland Oregon Old Town Hospitality Group (OTHG) can be applied to Anytown USA. The Group has successfully bridged from problem entertainment area to an invaluable asset in the city. The Group has hosted conferences in the local area aimed at bars to “raise the bar” in the industry. OTHG has influenced change at the legislative, local improvement, and development levels. All these efforts have lowered liability, risk, and calls for service while increasing the collaboration between the local agencies, and sales at individual bars.
