I always carry a u-lock and a cable (sans lock) which is designed to loop onto the u-lock. I put the u-lock around frame and one wheel (usually rear, but since I have a generator hub, I should put it around the front) and then loop the cable trough the frame and other wheel, then put the ends of the cable onto the U-lock.

As for security - sometimes larger events contract for bike parking, which often comes with perimeter security. You should inquire about whether your event is doing that.

Well after all the great information I've received, we won't be able to make the convention this year. We've both already marked the dates for next years convention on the calandar. But in the mean time, if I have another reason to visit Portland, my bike and I are all set. Thanks again for all the good advise!
