The 2022 Annual OR-PRIMA Conference will be held October 12-14 at Riverhouse on the Deschutes in Bend.  We will open our conference this year with a keynote presentation on Building a Culture of Risk Management provided by National PRIMA’s Speaker Dean Coughenour. The remaining exciting sessions include: Leadership and Motivation keynote, Transitioning Back to Work and Mental Health Considerations, Rising Risks of Homelessness panel, Leading through Climate Chaos, Cybersecurity Threats keynote, and a workers compensation and paid leave legal update.

Thursday night's dinner and entertainment is included as part of the registration, and we will be bringing back the ever-popular casino night, along with new attraction, a Photo Booth! We hope you will post your best pics (website appropriate) at the event to our LinkedIn site, Oregon PRIMA #2022AnnualConference.

We will again be hosting the annual fun run/walk which will take place Thursday morning.  This non-competitive 2.5-mile run/walk will get you physical and mentally ready for the sessions on Thursday as you take in the beautiful scenery Bend has to offer. Meet at the registration desk outside the Convention Center (2850 Rippling River Court) at 6:30 am to participate.  No need to sign up in advance.

Guests

Spouses and guests of registered attendees may attend Thursday evening's reception, dinner, and entertainment for a fee of $65.  All guests must be registered and are required to wear a name badge to participate in the festivities.

Registration Cancellation Policy

The cost for registration is $160 for members and $215 for non-members.  Registration closes October 7.

If you are unable to attend, we encourage you to send a substitute.  If you cannot send a substitute and your registration was paid, OR-PRIMA will refund 100% of your registration fee if written notice is received by September 28, 2022.  If your cancellation is received after that date the refund will be reduced by 50% and no refund will be given for cancellations received after October 5, 2022.  This is necessitated by the requirement that we pay for the meal head count we report to the venue prior to the conference.  If your registration was not paid and you cancel after October 5, OR-PRIMA will bill the balance due.  Please send cancellation notices to Treasurer Rob Gabris.
