The 2015 ComicsPRO Annual Membership Meeting will be held in Portland, Oregon on February 19 -21, the organization announced.  The Downtown Portland Hilton will be the venue.  The Meeting is expected to bring together member retailers, distributors, publishers and vendors to discuss the issues of the day and ways to improve the market.
 
The last few ComicsPRO Annual Meetings have been in Atlanta (see "ComicsPRO Meeting Set"), and this will be a first meeting for the West Coast.  Portland seems like an odd choice (#22 market in the U.S., not a major air hub), until you consider its importance to the comics business (Dark Horse Comics, a top five publisher, and Oni Press, publisher of the hit Scott Pilgrim series and others, are headquartered there), and that it’s sort of centrally located on the north-south West Coast axis, giving a nod to the growing comic scene in the Pacific Northwest.
