The next Pacific Northwest Regional Economic Conference (PNREC) will be held at the Marcus Whitman Hotel in Walla Walla, May 8-10, 2023.
PNREC 2023 will be in Walla Walla, WA. A visit to Walla Walla balances the pleasures of local culture, a quint downtown area, natural wonders with many opportunities for hikers and birdwatchers, and a region known as the capital of Washington's wine country. Visit McNary National Wildlife Refuge, which spans over 15,000 acres, to view many species of waterfowl and birds of prey. Take a scenic bike tour of Bennington Lake or the paved Mill Creek Trail. Visit one of the more than 120 wineries the Walla Walla Valley has to offer. Wineries and tasting rooms are spread across six districts in and around Walla Walla, each offering a unique experience. If you want to stay closer to the Marcus Whitman, you can explore a quaint downtown with a variety of merchants, tasting rooms, and restaurants. To learn more about Walla Walla, you can access the 2022 Visitor Guide here.

The historic Marcus Whitman Hotel is located in the heart of downtown Walla Walla near sidewalk cafes, shops, and one-of-a-kind boutiques. A treasured landmark that opened in 1928, the Marcus Whitman was fully renovated in 2001 and restored to its original grandeur, while adding modern updates to accommodate a luxurious travel experience. The full grounds include a 133-room hotel with luxury suites, a state-of-the art conference center featuring grand renaissance ballrooms, six on-site wine tasting rooms, and the award-winning The Marc Restaurant - recently named "Restaurant of the Year" by the Washington State Wine Commission - and The Vineyard Lounge.
We hope you will join us for PNREC 2023 in Walla Walla.
