This event was sponsored by Motorola.
After our Awards ceremony we will have a free shuttle service from our hotel to the Old Port in Portland.
Walking through the Old Port Historic District in Portland, Maine, reveals everything wonderful one would expect in a historic, urban waterfront district.
The cobblestone streets, mix of 19th-century brick architecture, fishing piers and hilly streets leading to the water create an authentic port atmosphere while shops, boutiques, galleries, restaurants and bars lend travel appeal that ranks amongst the best in New England. From an early morning walk through the quaint streets to experiencing the vibrant nightlife, the Old Port combines a small town feel with elements of a world class city. The location on the southeast side of the Portland peninsula, overlooking the wide mouth of the Fore River, makes for a cozy, scenic and charming oasis that feels like one's own discovery.
