Host City

Portland is a great location for the 2025 Western LEAD Provincial Conference!

A little bit creative, a little bit counter-culture, Portland is a year-round, always-evolving city that's home to a mindful community dedicated to keeping its city sustainable, innovative and accessible. There's an enviable public transit system and enormous in-city park offering dozens of cultural attractions. Portland gives us music, eccentric characters to watch (“Portlandia”) and a craft brew scene like none other. The city is packed with so much character you’ll almost forget to explore its great outdoors. Nearby, you’ll find Mount Hood, the Columbia River Gorge and the Oregon Coast. Portland's arts and culture institutions are also highly-regarded! Hear a performance at the Oregon Symphony or watch dancers leap across stage at the Oregon ballet Theatre.
