The Music:
This event is about giving people the opportunity to learn more about the art of House music, and the culture surrounding it. We want to give people a chance to meet the individuals who dedicate their lives to this music, and the scene that surrounds it. The House scene is about a culture that defies stereotypes and is open to anyone who just wants a place to let loose and dance. This event truly is about spreading that vibe from the underground to the masses and pushing dance music culture further into the global spot light. We are coming to together to have a good time, but we will also be presenting a much needed opportunity for people to learn how this music is created, who creates it, and what really drives them to put their lives into this music.

The Workshops and Panels:
Learn music production techniques from some of the best artists in the industry. See live demonstrations of hardware and how it is integrated into the production of music. Pick up some new moves with renouned dance instructors, and get a rare chance to hear their perspective on the music and the scene. Get inside info on starting your own label and successfully marketing it. Attend discussion panels featuring people from all walks of the music industry. These represent only a few of the many opportunities we will be presenting for people to not just have a good a time for the week, but also learn more about the music, culture and people behind the scenes.

The City:
Portland Oregon is one of the most up and coming cities in the country. With a diverse art and music scene that defies trends and strives to break new ground and, a food scene that is now at the forefront of the US, Portland is a travel destination that everyone should be moving to the top of their list. The culinary scene in Portland is now one of the most recognized in the country, and most ingredients are grown locally, so you will always be able to find a fantastic meal for a great price. For all you beer fans, the area features one of the largest collection of microbreweries in the country. In addition to our great urban music festival, Oregon offers a wide array of fantastic outdoor activities to take part in during this time of the summer. There is endless hiking to be done both outside the city as well as within it in several expansive parks. The coast is a short drive away as are the mountains, and a lake or river to swim in is never far away. The best part is that Portland is one of the most affordable cities in the country to visit and enjoy all of these attractions, so getting the full Northwest experience is well within the reach of the average pocket book.
